Can anyone suggest a reference or provide a description of how scientists determine the age of genes? I can see how the use of morphological features and fossil evidence can be used to aid in determining the lineage of organisms, but a wholly different approach is used for DNA. I have some background in molecular biology, but struggle with this concept.
