What is the molecular clock? Levels of molecular variation could be used, in principle, to estimate divergence times, serving as evolutionary "clocks" that "tick" at different rates. Subsequent ...

The mosaic nature of genomic divergence arises from of the combined actions of multiple, simultaneous evolutionary processes, including natural selection, gene flow, genetic drift, recombination, and ...

The result of this analysis is a phylogenetic tree, which illustrates the branching patterns of evolution, showing common ancestors and the paths of divergence that led to the diversity of life we ...
