What is the molecular clock? Levels of molecular variation could be used, in principle, to estimate divergence times, serving as evolutionary "clocks" that "tick" at different rates. Subsequent ...

In the early days of molecular evolution, one of the most tantalizing findings was the observation that protein sequence change seemed to occur at a rate proportional to the time since the ...

Microbial organisms dominate life on Earth, but tracing their early history and evolution is difficult because they rarely ...

A groundbreaking new study has pushed the timeline of life’s origin further back than previously thought. Researchers have ...
