A new “tree of life” has been constructed by researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech for the gamma-proteobacteria, a large group of medically and scientifically ...

Scientists have found further evidence to support the idea that the primary two domains of life, the Archaea and Bacteria, are separated by a long phylogenetic tree branch and therefore distantly ...

Phylogenetic analysis explores the evolutionary relationships between organisms and is a vital foundation for microbial studies. The development of reliable phylogenetic trees is an important step in ...

An international team of researchers have found a new way to interpret the evolution of bacteria. The findings, published in the journal Science today, demonstrate how integrating vertical descent and ...

A mouse gut bacteria phylogenetic tree is superimposed over a microphotograph of small intestine tissue, showing the abundance of bacteria by the size of the circles. Red circles indicate bacteria ...

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Evolution, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich Claire Guinat receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme ...

A mouse gut bacteria phylogenetic tree is superimposed over a microphotograph of colonic tissue, showing the abundance of bacteria by the size of the circles. Red circles indicate bacteria that primes ...
