A powerful AI model called Deep Novel Mutation Search (DNMS) predicts virus mutations more accurately and efficiently than ...

This may be the reason why biologists have only in the last few decades come to develop a rigorous understanding of phylogenetic trees. This understanding allows present-day researchers to use ...

A phylogenetic tree of SARS-CoV-2 sequences, built with Nextstrain, displays sequences colored by their clade and organized by collection date. Over time, sequences mutate and diverge, forming new ...

Viral genomes are differentiated from other replicons and genetic material, such as viroids or plasmids, through a unique three-part strategy for survival that is common to all viruses. First ...

The Evolution Lab contains two main parts: Build A Tree: Students build phylogenetic trees themed around the evidence of evolution, including fossils, biogeography, and similarities in DNA.

Why do some plants thrive in specific regions but not in others? A study led by researchers at the University of Göttingen explores the factors ...
