A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species.

Insights into the function of DNA Topoisomerase VI (Topo VI) may provide a springboard for drug discovery and crop protection.

Researchers at UC San Diego, in collaboration with UC Santa Cruz, have developed a new software tool for tracing and mapping the evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, that is capable of handling the ...

According to the authors, phylogenetic network analysis can be used to study the evolutionary processes resulting in the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and several other viruses.

This article considers the statistical issues relevant to the comparative method in evolutionary biology. A generalized linear model (GLM) is presented for the analysis of comparative data, which can ...
