Genomic data have had a profound impact on nearly every biological discipline. In systematics and phylogenetics, the thousands of loci that are now being sequenced can be analyzed under the ...
Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...
Non-reversible nucleotide substitution models best describe strand-specific nucleotide substitution biases of viral genomes.
Phylogenetic analysis underpins modern evolutionary biology by constructing trees that illustrate the relationships among species and genes. Gene tree reconciliation extends these analyses by aligning ...
An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to ...
University researchers uncovered that dipeptides, basic protein building blocks, played a central role in shaping the genetic ...
Questions: What are the key environmental variables that influence the structure of riparian forests? Do disturbance (flooding) and stress (soil fertility) gradients result in functionally and ...
