The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time ...

Ingrida Domarkienė, a geneticist at Vilnius University in Lithuania, discusses the exciting developments made possible by studying ancient and modern DNA.

We propose that four criteria should be considered when determining whether evolving genetic material is part of the phylogenetic tree ... is highly regulated. Most DNA viruses, for example ...

As such, DNA sequencing has emerged as a fundamental ... The distances are often placed on phylogenetic trees, which show the deduced relationships among the organisms (Figure 3).

In order to isolate DNA from this specimen, the researchers had to work ... This helped the team construct a detailed phylogenetic tree mapping the pathogen’s evolutionary descent. Phylogenetic ...

Researchers have explored the evolution of the genetic change that causes chronic myeloid leukaemia and show its ability to drive the disease.

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the ...
