Deep phylogenetic incongruence in the angiosperm clade Rosidae
Abstract Analysis of large data sets can help resolve difficult nodes in the tree of life and also
reveal complex evolutionary histories. The placement of the Celastrales–Oxalidales …

Automatic selection of partitioning schemes for phylogenetic analyses using iterative k-means clustering of site rates
Background Model selection is a vital part of most phylogenetic analyses, and accounting for
the heterogeneity in evolutionary patterns across sites is particularly important. Mixture …

Less is more in mammalian phylogenomics: AT-rich genes minimize tree conflicts and unravel the root of placental mammals
Despite the rapid increase of size in phylogenomic data sets, a number of important nodes
on animal phylogeny are still unresolved. Among these, the rooting of the placental mammal …

Genes of cyanobacterial origin in plant nuclear genomes point to a heterocyst-forming plastid ancestor
Plastids are descended from a cyanobacterial symbiosis which occurred over 1.2 billion
years ago. During the course of endosymbiosis, most genes were lost from the …
