The molecular clock and evolutionary timescales.

Abstract excerpt

The molecular clock provides a valuable means of estimating evolutionary timescales from genetic and biochemical data. Proposed in the early 1960s, it was first applied to amino acid sequences and immunological measures of genetic distances between species. The molecular clock has undergone considerable development over the years, and it retains profound relevance in the genomic era. In this mini-review, we...
