Software, evolution and micro-inversions -- improving the building of phylogenetic trees

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying “microinversions,” which are extremely short strings of inverted nucleotides.
This new work from researchers at UC San Diego and Brown University will appear in the online version of PNAS on December 18, 2006.
