Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

Knowing phylogenetic relationships among species is fundamental for many studies in
biology. An accurate phylogenetic tree underpins our understanding of the major transitions …

Phylogenetic analysis has entered the genomics (multilocus) era. For less experienced
researchers, conquering the large number of software programs required for a multilocus …

Mitochondria are best known for their role in the generation of ATP by aerobic respiration.
Yet, research in the past half century has shown that they perform a much larger suite of …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Understanding the evolutionary background of a bacterial isolate has applications for a wide
range of research. However generating an accurate species phylogeny remains …

The identification of the first mobile colistin resistance (MCR) gene, mcr-1, in 2015 triggered
a rash of mcr screening reports. Subsequently, nine MCR-family genes and their variants …

Programs for Bayesian inference of phylogeny currently implement a unique and fixed suite
of models. Consequently, users of these software packages are simultaneously forced to …

Abstract Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) combined with powerful bioinformatic
approaches are revolutionising food microbiology. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of …

Inferring the full genealogical history of a set of DNA sequences is a core problem in
evolutionary biology, because this history encodes information about the events and forces …
