MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS:TO STUDY FASCINATING EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY.
In this article, we will discuss about the concept of molecular phylogenetics. Molecular phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relationships among organisms using molecular data, primarily DNA sequences. By comparing sequences of DNA, RNA, or proteins, researchers can infer the evolutionary history of organisms and construct phylogenetic trees that depict their relatedness. It is the study of evolutionary relationships of genes and other biological macromolecules by analyzing mutations at various positions in their sequences and developing hypotheses about the evolutionary relatedness of the biomolecules.Continue Reading
