Abstract

Evolutionary bioinformatics is a powerful approach to studying the molecular evolution of species by integrating sequence data, evolutionary models, and computational tools. This article explores the field of evolutionary bioinformatics, focusing on the methods and tools used to analyze genetic sequences and infer evolutionary relationships through phylogenetic analysis. We discuss various sequence alignment techniques, molecular evolutionary models, and phylogenetic tree construction methods, highlighting their applications in understanding evolutionary processes, species divergence, and ancestral relationships
