Pinpointing its influence is a laborious process\u2014but one in which Dr. J\u00fcrgen Schmitz and his team at the University of M\u00fcnster are at home. Five years ago, the team made public a web app which can compare the genomes of humans and animals and thus help to provide an understanding of evolutionary developments. The M\u00fcnster researchers are now going one step further: their new software\u20142-n-way\u2014can compare any genomes from and for anyone and systematically search for regions which are characterized by the presence or absence of certain sequences\u2014or, to put it simply, what is missing and where in the genome and when it got lost or when it newly emerged. This makes it possible to recognize relationships among species or individuals. The M\u00fcnster researchers have now published details of their new development\u2014which, like its predecessor\u2014is freely available on the internet\u2014in the journal Genome Research.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-09-evolution-genealogy-home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Looking at evolution&#8217;s genealogy from home<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evolution leaves its traces in particular in genomes.
