Scientists continue to refine, and sometimes radically alter, our understanding of the “Tree of Life” — the ways in which species are related to one another. They’re using the computing power of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin to better understand the origin of species and, ultimately, help fight disease and develop better crops.Read More
