Researchers have applied a deep learning method called neural posterior estimation to phylodynamics, enabling faster analysis ...

For the past 25 years, one discipline has been revolutionizing epidemiology: phylodynamics. By using genetic sequences, ...

Tree performance is generally considered as the consequence of the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes. However, the differential effect among species and the portion of those ...

The researchers sequenced the complete chloroplast genomes and nuclear DNA of over 100 Androsace species and their close relatives. Their results showed that these flowers first appeared on the ...

A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...

The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species -- the ''family tree'' of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of ...
