phylogenomics

2 articles

Phylogenomics is the study of evolutionary relationships using whole-genome or large-scale genomic data, offering far greater resolution than traditional single-gene approaches. In plant science, this powerful framework helps researchers untangle complex evolutionary histories, resolve longstanding uncertainties in plant classification, and understand how plant lineages diversified and adapted over millions of years. It is especially valuable for plants, where hybridization, polyploidy, and rapid diversification can make relationships difficult to reconstruct from limited genetic data alone.
