The Tree of Life: Classification and Phylogeny 2Tree, The
A recent important project umbrella relating to comparative genomics is the National Science Foundation's Tree of Life Initiative. The NSF has solicited proposals for establishing a phylogenetic framework, Darwin's “Great Tree of Life,” for the approximately 1.7 million described species of organisms...
We first identify cell-in-cell phenomena across the tree of life and propose a classification based on social evolution. Second, we summarize whether conspecific cell-in-cell phenomena are associated with cancer according to the literature. Third, we examine the association and origins of cell-in...

From comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences of genes encoding ribosomal RNAs and several proteins, molecular phylogeneticists have constructed a "universal tree of life," taking it as the basis for a "natural" hierarchical classification of all living things. Although confidence in some of...
The tree of life is one of the most important organizing principles in biology1. Gene surveys suggest the existence of an enormous number of branches2, but even an approximation of the full scale of the tree has remained elusive. Recent depictions of the tree of life have focused either on...
Researchers in many areas of life sciences, from commu- nity ecology to genomics to biomedical genetics, use phylogenies to place data in an evolutionary context [1]. Phylogenies provide the basis for classification, whether of species (i.e., biological taxonomy) or molecular se- quences. Furthe...
Classification and regression tree uncovered hierarchy of psychosocial determinants underlying quality-of-life response shift in HIV/AIDS. Rapkin and Schwartz define response shift as otherwise unexplained, discrepant change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) that is associated with cha... Y Li...
An Evolutionary tree induces a hierarchical classification of species and this is not just tied to biology. Medicine, ecology and linguistics are just some of the fields where this concept appears, and it is even an integr...
