Fish Phylogeny Fleshed Out With New Computational Approach

Jan 13, 2017

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A fish-focused phylogenetic analysis claims to clarify some vertebrate positions in the tree of life, using a gene genealogy interrogation (GGI) approach that teases phylogenetic relationships from short coalescent genes, applying constraints to the potential topology of a given tree to dial down its complexity.
