Toward More Accurate Ancestral Protein Genotype-Phenotype Reconstructions with the Use of Species Tree-Aware Gene Trees
The resurrection of ancestral proteins provides direct insight into how natural selection has shaped proteins found in nature. By tracing substitutions along a gene phylogeny, ancestral proteins can be reconstructed in silico and subsequently synthesized in vitro. This elegant strategy reveals the c...
