"Revolutionizing Avian Evolution: Unveiling the Most Detailed Bird Family Tree with AI and Computational Tools"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Sci.News

Scientists have created the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date, revealing patterns in avian evolutionary history following the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. The updated tree, part of the Bird 10,000 Genomes Project, delineates 93 million years of relationships between 363 bird species and sheds light on adaptive mechanisms driving avian diversification. Advanced computational methods uncovered an unusual region of suppressed recombination in the bird genome, affecting the placement of flamingos and doves in the family tree, raising questions about the relationship between this genomic anomaly and the extinction event.

"Revolutionizing Avian Evolution: Computational Tools and AI Algorithm Unveil New Bird Family Tree"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

An international team of scientists has reconstructed the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date, delineating 93 million years of evolutionary relationships between 363 bird species using cutting-edge computational methods. The study, published in Nature and PNAS, revealed insights into avian diversification following the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, and corrected previous misconceptions about the evolutionary relationships between bird species. The advanced computational tools developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego played a crucial role in analyzing vast amounts of genomic data with high accuracy and speed, paving the way for the construction of the most comprehensive bird family tree ever assembled.
