Modern molecular technologies (genomics and other omics), through
comparing nucleic acid and amino acid sequences across living species, are enabling the identification of genetic components and patterns stingily conserved by evolution, from those in which times of evolutionary branching of the tree of life can be inferred.
One well - accepted effort
compares the nucleic acid sequences that code for ribosomal RNA and a few proteins in many different organisms.
