The idea that all life on earth traces back to a common origin dates back at least to Charles
Darwin's Origin of Species. Ever since, biologists have tried to piece together parts of this …

The quest to discover the evolutionary relationships of organisms is an evolving, long-time
topic of research. Such research gave rise to many different taxonomic databases and …

Phylogenetic inference allows building a hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships
between a group of species, which is usually represented as a tree. The phylogenetic …

In many organisms, gene trees based on nuclear markers and those based on cytoplasmic
markers (chloroplasts or mitochondria) sometimes indicate quite different relationships …

A Gram-stain-negative, motile bacterium, designated strain YE3T, was isolated from
activated sludge obtained from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Daejeon …

Within the field of phylogenetics there is great interest in distance measures to quantify the
dissimilarity of two trees. Recently, a new distance measure has been proposed: the …

In “no common mechanism”(NCM) models of character evolution, each character can evolve
on a phylogenetic tree under a partially or totally separate process (eg, with its own branch …

This study models the probability of incompatibility versus compatibility for binary or
unordered multistate phylogenetic characters, by treating the allocation of taxa to character …

A rod-shaped, round and white colony-forming strain AD18 T was isolated from the soil on
Halla mountain in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene …

A Gram-stain-positive, oxidase-and catalase-positive motile, aerobic, and rod-shaped
bacterial strain, designated as DCT-5 T, was isolated from a native plant belonging to the …
