A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny, is a diagram that depicts the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, or genes from a common ancestor. Phylogenies are useful ...

What do phylogenetic trees illustrate? These diagrams don't just organize knowledge of biodiversity - they also show us that living species are the summation of their evolutionary history. Trait ...

The COVID-19 phylogenetic tree, called UShER, was created by UCSC researchers and is the primary tool used by health officials worldwide to track the spread of variants in their community.

A new genetic family tree of the UK's birds may help predict which will see their populations decline in future. The family tree - or phylogenetic map - shows how closely species are related. The ...

By updating the family tree for birds, the scientists show evolutionary patterns that formed following the cataclysmic mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
