| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>The combination of molecular sequence data and bioinformatics has revolutionized phylogenetic inference over the past decade, vastly increasing the scope of the evolutionary trees that we are able to infer. A recent paper in <it>BMC Biology </it>describing a new phylogenomic pipeline to help automate the inference of evolutionary trees from public sequence databases provides another important tool in our efforts to derive the Tree of Life.</p> <p>See research article: <url>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/9/55</url></p> |
