In the dim waters off the Japanese coast, scientists have stumbled upon something that shouldn’t exist. Or at least not by the rules we thought biology followed. While sequencing DNA from a tiny ...

Streamlining genetic analysis for phylogenetic studies Date: January 23, 2025 Source: Hokkaido University Summary: A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier ...

Much evidence from biological theory and empirical data indicates that, gene trees, phylogenetic trees reconstructed from different genes (loci), do not have to have exactly the same tree topologies.

eLife assessment This valuable study revisits the effects of substitution model selection on phylogenetics by comparing reversible and non-reversible DNA substitution models. The authors provide ...

This folder contains the code for the manuscript entitled "Host community structure can shape pathogen outbreak dynamics through a phylogenetic dilution effect". Codes generate a multi-host SI model, ...

A phylogenetic tree based on migration patterns and clonal origins was used to highlight the differences between envelope-TDs and irregular-TDs. The genetic distance between envelope-TDs and positive ...

We used multi-model inference to assess the relationship of green space area, shape, isolation, tree richness, habitat diversity, and vegetation cover with species richness, Faith’s phylogenetic ...

Figure 1 The key innate immune genes of tree shrew are genetically close to Homo sapiens. (A), The variation of coding amino acid of STING gene in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), and Homo ...

In addition to describing the fractal topology of phylogenetic trees, the model also accounted for the patterns of evolutionary clades previously documented to occur in microbial communities by ...
