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 ...

Computational ecology and phylogenetics have emerged as synergistic fields that harness the power of advanced algorithmic and modelling techniques alongside genomic data to elucidate the complex ...

An international team of scientists has built the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date—an intricate chart delineating 93 million years of evolutionary relationships between 363 bird ...

As of June 16, 2022, there were 10,594,265 sequences displayed in the UShER COVID-19 phylogenetic tree. 10 million sequences of COVID-19’s genomic code have now been organized into a phylogenetic tree ...

A mathematician, computational biologist and former mountain guide, Dr. Frederick “Erick” Matsen is all about trees. The tall swaying ones that line the forest paths he hikes with his data scientist ...

We are living in an era where biology has become synonymous with big data due to the ever-increasing amount of data being generated by technologies such as next-generation sequencing. Bioinformatics ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the agent responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is crucial to detecting emerging ...

In phylogenetic analysis, branching diagrams are made to represent the evolutionary history or relationship between different species, organisms, or characteristics of an organism (genes, proteins, ...

Using cutting-edge computational methods and supercomputing infrastructure, researchers have built the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date -- an intricate chart delineating 93 million ...
