Inferring phylogenetic trees for individual homologous gene families is difficult because
alignments are often too short, and thus contain insufficient signal, while substitution models …

As the only surviving lineages of jawless fishes, hagfishes and lampreys provide a crucial
window into early vertebrate evolution,–. Here we investigate the complex history, timing …

Monoamines like serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline/noradrenaline (epinephrine/
norepinephrine) act as neuromodulators in the nervous system. They play a role in complex …

The biogeochemical sulfur cycle plays a central role in fueling microbial metabolisms,
regulating the Earth's redox state, and affecting climate. However, geochemical …

Motivation Genomes are a rich source of information on the pattern and process of evolution
across biological scales. How best to make use of that information is an active area of …

Diptera is one of the biggest insect orders and displays a large diversity of visual
adaptations. Similarly to other animals, the dipteran visual process is mediated by opsin …

Motivation Gene and species tree reconciliation methods are used to interpret gene trees,
root them and correct uncertainties that are due to scarcity of signal in multiple sequence …

Here we present Zombi, a tool to simulate the evolution of species, genomes and sequences
in silico, that considers for the first time the evolution of genomes in extinct lineages. It also …

Magnetosome synthesis in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) is regarded as a very ancient
evolutionary process that dates back to deep-branching phyla. Magnetotactic bacteria …

In phylogenetics, reconciliation is an approach to connect the history of two or more
coevolving biological entities. The general idea of reconciliation is that a phylogenetic tree …
