Abstract. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is a key step in phylogenetic analysis and is prone to error. Unfortunately, algorithms that remove likely alig

Abstract. Exoskeletons define arthropods, providing support for segmented bodies and appendages while protecting against environmental stress and predation

Nature Methods - EviAnn surpasses existing genome annotation methods by leveraging gene expression and protein sequence homology evidence to achieve higher accuracy and efficiency.

Throughout eukaryotic evolution, the structure of the ribosome has been highly conserved, featuring 80 common protein gene families. However, in many eukaryotes, paralogs of these proteins are present...

AbstractMotivation. The presence or absence of some genes in a genome can influence whether other genes are likely to be present or absent. Understanding t

Sponges have a cryptic Ediacaran history because ancestral sponges were soft-bodied and had low fossilization potential.

Are we truly in the midst of a human-caused sixth mass extinction, an era of “biological annihilation”?

Abstract. The multispecies coalescent (MSC) model provides a framework for detecting gene flow using genomic data, including between sister species. Howeve

A stem-cell-based monkey embryo model that self-organizes into a comprehensive body plan could lead the way to more-sophisticated models of early human development.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT We provide evidence that a highly conserved protein (PDI) alters the endometrial transcriptome in a species- and cell-specific manne

Analysis of eukaryotic gene sequences using a relaxed molecular clock methodology indicate that eukaryotes emerged 3.0–2.25 billion years ago as a result of mitochondrial endosymbiosis with complex ar...
