A newly developed "plant tree of life" may help scientists crack an "abominable mystery" declared by Charles Darwin. Flowering plants first evolved over 140 million years ago. Their sudden ...

The Darwin Tree of Life project has an ambitious target of sequencing the DNA barcodes and full genomes of all 66,000+ described UK species. Our work is the UK’s contribution to the Earth Biogenome ...

I upload these barcodes and their specimen records to the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD), so that researchers across the world can benefit. My pre-DToL background is in Biomedical Science and Novel ...

Today's scientists marvel that the 19th-century naturalist's grand vision of evolution is still the key to life ...

Today, researchers using the genetic techniques of "evo devo" can trace the evolution of the various kinds of organisms that Darwin fit into his "tree of life" (here, from an 1837 notebook ...

Darwin's ideas have influenced biology ever ... The only illustration in On the Origin of Species is a tree of life, which he used to explain the relationship between species and the success ...

Darwin himself made a stab at drawing a "tree of life," a diagram that traces the evolutionary relationships among species based on their similarities and differences. But scientists are now ...
