BEAUti (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis Utility version) v1.6.1 (Drummond et al. 2010 a, b ) was utilized to generate initial xml files for BEAST.
An input file for BEAST analysis was obtained by using Bayesian evolutionary analysis utility software v1.8.0, in which sequences were tip dated according to the year of collection.
The evolutionary features and utility of these markers are critically discussed and future research directions are proposed.
Phylogenetic trees assume branching evolutionary histories, limiting utility in some groups such as those with high rates of horizontal gene transfer.
Although these algorithms could inform both ab initio protein folding calculations and evolutionary studies, their utility for these purposes has been hindered by a lack of confidence in their predictions due to hard to control sources of error.
The survey concluded with open-ended questions about the utility of evolutionary principles in medicine, why evolutionary biology has not been fully applied in medicine, and suggestions for better incorporating evolution into medical education.
By making students aware of the utility of evolutionary theory in everyday life (Futuyma 1995; O'Brien et al. 2009), particularly in health-related decision making, evolutionary medicine can directly engage students, including those who may not usually accept evolutionary ideas.
This expression of the utility of evolutionary biology to medical education resulted in convening a group of scientists and physicians to advocate for the enhancement of this recommendation (Nesse et al. 2010).
In this paper, I present an extended case study of ethnic identity transformation (ethnogenesis) that highlights the utility of evolutionary research for exploring and uncovering past social transformations that historical texts, the archeological record, and the genes of descendant communities may not record.
Again, the helix-turn-helix is a common and ancient motif [64] demonstrating both its diverse utility and evolutionary stability.
