Resumen:

Molecular biology had a tremendous impact on evolutionary biology beginning in the 1960s. New experimental techniques from biochemistry and molecular biology brought new experimental techniques and molecular data to evolutionary biology. As biologists sought to understand the implications of molecular phenomena, they articulated new concepts and theories such as the molecular clock and the neutral theory of molecular evolution. These distinguished evolution at the molecular level from the organismic level in the 1970s. The rise of DNA sequencing in the 1980s and 1990s reinforced the distinction between organismal and molecular evolution with new statistical tests to differentiate selection from neutrality at the sequence level. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
