Introduction: An introduction to the phylogenetic comparative method / Emmanuel Paradis ; Working with the tree of life in comparative studies : how to build and tailor phylogenies to interspecific ...

Reconstructing phylogenetic trees from large collections of genome sequences is a computationally challenging task. We developed MAPLE, a method for performing phylogenetic inference on large numbers ...

Phylogenetic reconstruction from morphological characters has evolved from simple parsimony criteria to sophisticated probabilistic frameworks that integrate fossil data, continuous character coding ...

In a new study involving whole-genome data, researchers present “CASTER,” a tool that uses arrangements in DNA sequences known as site patterns to infer “species trees,” which are diagrams that depict ...

Genetic information is stored in DNA as a sequence of specific base pairings. This is passed on largely unchanged from one generation to the next. But how is it possible that cells differ so massively ...
