(spidroins) through long-read transcriptomics across a broad phylogenetic range, with theoretical implications for protein family evolution, biomaterials, and silk biology. By identifying putative ...

Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease, the outcome is severe ...

The plant has an extremely low natural germination rate of less than 2 percent, and its seeds can remain dormant for one to ...

This project implements a GPU-accelerated phylogenetic tree construction pipeline using MASH distance metrics and the neighbor joining algorithm. The implementation accelerates the computation of ...

Most phylogenies exist in academic papers and remain difficult to interpret. Cornell’s Birds of the World Phylogeny Explorer puts those relationships into a visual, searchable tool. Users can explore ...

Birds are extraordinary in their diversity, ecological breadth, and global distribution. This makes them a powerful system to study ecology and evolution, particularly as large-scale datasets on ...

Archipelagoes present exciting opportunities to understand the process of adaptive radiation. To better understand the roles of hybridization, geographic isolation, and trait divergence in adaptive ...

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...

Advances in high-throughput sequencing technology have led to a rapid increase in the number of sequenced mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), ensuring the emergence of mitochondrial phylogenomics, as ...

The valuable work by authors improves our understanding on the effects of tree diversity on host-parasitoid communities of insects in forests in an experimental setting. Most of the analyses used are ...
