New phylogenetic approaches for understanding evolution at the genome scale

该项目旨在利用基因组数据提高我们对进化过程的理解，包括在全基因组规模上塑造进化的力量。该项目计划创建一个精心策划的基因组序列数据库和一个基因组进化分析的综合框架。这种新方法被设计用于分析进化速率变化的模式，以确定基因组进化的关键特征。此外，发展一种基因组规模的分子测年方法将改善对生命之树时间尺度的估计。该项目有望对分子进化产生有益的见解，并为未来的基因组进化分析提供有价值的指导。

This project aims to use genome data to improve our understanding of the evolutionary process, including the forces that shape evolution on a whole-genome scale. The project plans to create a curated database of genome sequences and a comprehensive framework for evolutionary analyses of genomes. The new approach is designed to be used to analyse patterns of evolutionary rate variation to identify the key features of genome evolution. In addition, the development of a genome-scale approach to molecular dating will improve estimates of the timescale of the Tree of Life. This project is expected to yield useful insights into molecular evolution and to provide a valuable guide for future evolutionary analyses of genomes.
