The team of researchers, composed largely of undergraduates at Penn State, was led by Dr. Blair Hedges, a molecular evolutionist known for using molecular data to try to turn conventional wisdom about evolutionary history on its head.
She describes the researcher's use of fossils and molecular data to track the evolution of lice and their hosts.
First, we use molecular data to assess if P. falcipes represents a single or multiple, separately evolving cryptic lineages.
Interestingly, these results constitute molecular data, to be considered when designing restructured fish products with these fibre ingredients.
These strategies could lead in the direction of precision medicine and there is hope of integrating translational molecular data to improve cancer classifications.
Scoria stores these residence times in the occupancy fields of each atom and saves the molecular data to a PDB file.
To skirt these potential biases, Pryer and several colleagues looked at fossil and molecular data to estimate when particular branches of the family trees diverged.
Public health strategies to control the spread of tuberculosis are enhanced by the use of molecular data to study tuberculosis transmission dynamics within populations.
For example, in the first use of molecular data to test for the phylotypic stage, Hazkani-Covo et al. (2005) found evidence for the hourglass model in mouse embryos.
It is envisaged that the methodology will enable large scale conversion of molecular information from supplementary files available in the PDF format into a collection of ready- to- compute molecular data to create an automated workflow for advanced computational processes.
In addition, the active learning exercise's use of molecular data to evaluate alternative trees was a nice complement to the lab activities that use morphological, developmental, and life history data to evaluate alternate hypotheses of evolutionary relationship.
