Description
Resolving the relationships of animals (Metazoa) is crucial to our understanding of the origin of key traits such as muscles, guts, and nerves. However, a broadly accepted metazoan consensus phylogeny has yet to emerge. In part, this is because the genomes of deeply diverging and fast-evolving lineages may undergo significant gene turnover, reducing the number of orthologs shared with related phyla. This can limit the usefulness of traditional phylogenetic methods that rely on alignments of...[Show more]
