Here we show with both extensive real and simulated data that rigorous and time-intensive approaches, including parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods, to reconstructing large phylogenetic ...

Creating a family tree that dates back more than 400 million years and details the evolution of the most diverse group of animals on the planet is no easy feat, but one ambitious group of scientists ...

Genomic sequencing can be used to work out the evolutionary relationships of different species, or groups of organisms. This is known as phylogenetics. Species with more similarity in their genomes ...
