An example of reconstruction of putative ancestral intermediates by inferring the phylogenetic relationship between modern homologs. ASR studies can explore biodiversity to infer the historical evolution of natural proteins. Statistical models of amino acid substitution can be applied to calculate the sequences at internal nodes. Although domestication (D) has produced bottlenecks and reduced the genetic variability, ASR analyses can be applied to wild crop relatives.
