Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
ID: molecular-phylogenetics-and-evolution
Molecular phylogenetics is a subfield of phylogenetics that focuses on the analysis of molecular data, primarily DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, to study the evolutionary relationships among organisms. By comparing these sequences across different species or populations, scientists can construct phylogenetic trees, which depict the evolutionary history and diversification of life forms.
