A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...

Phylogenetic tree analysis reconstructs the branching relationships among organisms or genes, revealing their shared ancestry and divergence over time. These tree structures are central to ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...

Zoraptera, an order of insects that includes angel insects, has defied accurate taxonomic description since 1913.

New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...

Weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea) represent a hyperdiverse and globally distributed group of phytophagous beetles, with approximately 62,000 described species in 5,800 genera. Recently, researchers ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...
