An important area within the study of molecular evolution is the use of molecular data to determine the correct biological classification of organisms. This is called molecular systematics or molecular phylogenetics.
Tools and concepts developed in the study of molecular evolution are now commonly used for comparative genomics and molecular genetics, while the influx of new data from these fields has been spurring advancement in molecular evolution.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or fields:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Love is the reason you were born.”
—Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)
