Although the geographic structure of the inferred haplotype tree is reminiscent of that obtained for other loci (the root is in Africa, and most of the oldest non-African lineages are Asian), the expected time to the most recent common ancestor is remarkably short, on the order of 50,000 ...

MEDI8852 unmutated common ancestor (UCA): the unmatured, inferred germline sequence of MEDI8852, which only neutralizes viruses with group 1 HAs29 mAb114: a patient-derived antibody that neutralizes ebolavirus by binding to its glycoprotein (GP)30and has been approved for clinical use by the ...
The researchers’ method allowed them to reconstruct ancient population dynamics on the basis of genetic data from present-day humans. By constructing a complex family tree of genes, the team was able to examine thefinerbran...
Using the widely accepted hominoid phylogenetic tree, we perform a series of character optimization analyses using 65 selected life-history and behavioral characters for all extant hominid species. This analysis allows us to reconstruct the character states of the last common ancestors of Hominoidea, ...
Under the old rules, the primate evolutionary tree was deduced from anatomical similarities between living and fossil primates, including man, and genetic relationships were likewise deduced from these anatomical resemblances. Thus, from the time of Darwin it has been recognized that among all living...
A unique gene tree was constructed from 326 sequences of 349 in the total sample. New maximum-likelihood methods for analyzing gene trees on the basis of coalescence theory have been used. The most recent common ancestor of the beta-globin gene......
