The first animal mitochondrial genomes to be sequenced were of several vertebrates and
model organisms, and the consistency of genomic features found has led to a 'textbook …

In recent years, scientists have made remarkable progress reconstructing the animal
phylogeny. There is broad agreement regarding many deep animal relationships, including …

Two common approaches for estimating phylogenies in species-rich groups are to:(i)
sample many loci for few species (eg phylogenomic approach), or (ii) sample many species …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Background Phylogenetic and population genetic studies often deal with multiple sequence
alignments that require manipulation or processing steps such as sequence concatenation …

Background The use of transcriptomic and genomic datasets for phylogenetic reconstruction
has become increasingly common as researchers attempt to resolve recalcitrant nodes with …

Mosses are a highly diverse lineage of land plants, whose diversification, spanning at least
400 million years, remains phylogenetically ambiguous due to the lack of fossils, massive …

To tackle incongruence, the topological conflict between different gene trees, phylogenomic
studies couple concatenation with practices such as rogue taxon removal or the use of …

Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …

Angiosperms are the most successful plants and support human livelihood and ecosystems.
Angiosperm phylogeny is the foundation of studies of gene function and phenotypic …
