Incongruence in the phylogenomics era
Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

The origin and evolution of cell types
Cell types are the basic building blocks of multicellular organisms and are extensively
diversified in animals. Despite recent advances in characterizing cell types, classification …

[HTML][HTML] Ancient gene linkages support ctenophores as sister to other animals
A central question in evolutionary biology is whether sponges or ctenophores (comb jellies)
are the sister group to all other animals. These alternative phylogenetic hypotheses imply …

[HTML][HTML] AlphaFold predictions are valuable hypotheses and accelerate but do not replace experimental structure determination
Artificial intelligence-based protein structure prediction methods such as AlphaFold have
revolutionized structural biology. The accuracies of these predictions vary, however, and …

Deeply conserved synteny and the evolution of metazoan chromosomes
Animal genomes show networks of deeply conserved gene linkages whose phylogenetic
scope and chromosomal context remain unclear. Here, we report chromosome-scale …

[HTML][HTML] Phylogenomics of 10,575 genomes reveals evolutionary proximity between domains Bacteria and Archaea
Rapid growth of genome data provides opportunities for updating microbial evolutionary
relationships, but this is challenged by the discordant evolution of individual genes. Here we …

Revisiting metazoan phylogeny with genomic sampling of all phyla
Proper biological interpretation of a phylogeny can sometimes hinge on the placement of
key taxa—or fail when such key taxa are not sampled. In this light, we here present the first …
