This phylogenetic tree, built from genetic sequencing and fossil data, helps explain the relationships between different kinds of insects across millions of years of evolution.

Researchers from aroudn the world have created the first ever comprehensive phylogenetic tree for insects. Here are a few highlights.

A phylogenetic tree was built based on the aligned SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences (n=203,045), pruned to 54,521 nodes and ancestral genomes of the nodes of the pruned phylogenetic tree were ...

A new genetic family tree of the UK's birds may help predict which will see their populations decline in future. The family tree - or phylogenetic map - shows how closely species are related. The ...

The resulting phylogenetic estimate offers novel insights into the rapid radiation of modern birds and provides a taxon-rich backbone tree for future comparative studies.” ...

The COVID-19 phylogenetic tree, called UShER, was created by UCSC researchers and is the primary tool used by health officials worldwide to track the spread of variants in their community.
