Abstract: Rooted and ranked phylogenetic trees are mathematical objects that are useful in modelling hierarchical data and evolutionary relationships with applications to many fields such as evolutionary biology and genetic epidemiology. Bayesian phylogenetic inference usually explores… read more here.

Abstract: Multi-regional sequencing provides new opportunities to investigate genetic heterogeneity within or between common tumors from an evolutionary perspective. Several state-of-the-art methods have been proposed for reconstructing cancer evolutionary trees based on multi-regional sequencing data to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/educsci11080367
Abstract: Phylogenetic trees are important tools for teaching and understanding evolution, yet students struggle to read and interpret them correctly. In this study, we extend a study conducted by Catley and Novick (2008) by investigating depictions… read more here.
