Deep Tree: Students explore an interactive tree of life and trace the shared ancestry ... Lab with an understanding of how to build phylogenetic trees and the evidence for evolution.

Researchers unveiled the curatedFoodMetagenomicData (cFMD) resource, revealing extensive microbial diversity in food and its ...

“Understanding phylogenetic trees can be difficult ... experience some of the evolutionary wonders contained in the tree of life." The other tool that came out of their research is a puzzle ...

All species on Earth, both living and extinct, are related. We know this because of a biological tool called the tree of life. This "tree" takes the form of a diagram that maps the relationships ...

Here, the unit proposed a framework for revising the tree of life, which included both morphological surveys and data analyses powered by the supercomputer at OIST. Phylogenetic revisions of ...

Termites have a bad reputation. Most think of them as pests, a status that isn't helped by their recent reclassification into ...

New taxonomy of termites highlights their role as ecosystem engineers and provides a clearer picture of their evolutionary ...
