Estimating divergence time is useful to reconstruct evolutionary history.
This illustrates how HGTs can be useful to date evolutionary events relatively against each other [ 45].
This approach has proven useful to disentangle evolutionary processes that were not completely resolved in previous comparative genomic or population genetics studies.
I actually think it would be very, very useful to any evolutionary theorist to familiarize her/himself with modern cosmology (I am tempted to suggest that is, indeed, necessary, but probably, I should not go that far).
Our subconscious minds are seemingly constantly monitoring for anything important or novel that may be useful to us – an obvious evolutionary survival tactic.
We believe that a combination of phylogenetic and map-based approaches using several species is much more useful to resolve the evolutionary history of gene families as has been pointed out earlier [ 50, 51].
It is a frequency-dependent selection process [22], and the evolutionary invasion analysis proposed by Geritz et al. [23], [24] are useful to investigate such evolutionary processes.
Genome-wide analysis to elucidate the differences between japonica and indica will be useful to explain the evolutionary events that led to their distinct features.
