A research team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that significantly enhances the analysis capabilities of biological data by incorporating ...

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 organisms ...

Artificial intelligence is now better than humans at identifying many patterns, but evolutionary relationships have always ...

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...

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 ...

Introduction: An introduction to the phylogenetic comparative method / Emmanuel Paradis ; Working with the tree of life in comparative studies : how to build and tailor phylogenies to interspecific ...

Aim: Mountain vipers belonging to the Montivipera genus represent a fascinating example of neo-endemism found in the high plateaus of Iran, Anatolia and the Caucasus. Given the conservation challenges ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum developed a quartet-based deep learning method that embeds phylogenetic tree structures into neural networks. Tested on bacterial 16S rRNA data, it enables AI to ...

Evolution, Vol. 72, No. 5 (MAY 2018), pp. 1050-1062 (13 pages) Variation in rates of molecular evolution (heterotachy) is a common phenomenon among plants. Although multiple theoretical models have ...
