Molecular Clocks of Evolution, 1989-11-28 - 1989-12-01
File
Scope and Contents
The meeting Molecular Clocks of Evolution discussed how a considerable
amount of data has been produced using differences in DNA between different
species to measure the relatedness of species. Some of the data obtained using
DNA as a molecular clock have required radical revision of previously accepted
taxonomic relationships, and the purpose of this meeting was to examine whether
the assumptions underlying the use of molecular clocks are justified. Data was presented with time scales...
