In genetics, scientists must analyze the genomes of millions, if not billions, of people, each carrying millions of variants. It’s an unfathomable amount of data. Which leads us to another central ...

T-REX was created in response to requests to be able to easily link phylogenetic and phenotypic information together and yield insights from this. This package consists of a GUI-enabled phylogenetic ...

Even its ancestry is an enigma. Phylogenetic trees place Sukunaarchaeum as a “deep-branching” member of the domain Archaea—one of life’s three great domains that includes extremophiles and gave rise ...

When trees and soil fungi form close associations with each other, both partners benefit. Many tree species have further enhanced this cooperation by forming a concurrent symbiosis with two different ...

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...

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 ...

The mammalian order of Primates comprises 172 species of Old World apes and monkeys (Catarrhini), 146 New World monkeys (Platyrrhini), and 144 lemurs, lorises, and galagos (Strepsirrhini). Primates ...

Advances in research have enabled the creation of a near-complete primate timetree, offering new insights into primate evolution. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Recent scientific efforts have advanced the ...

Christmas trees are the centerpiece of a holiday celebration. Every year, between 25 and 30 million Christmas trees are sold in the United States, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.
