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 …

In this review, we discuss the current status and future challenges for fully elucidating the
fungal tree of life. In the last 15 years, advances in genomic technologies have …

Phylogenomic studies using genome-scale amounts of data have greatly improved
understanding of the tree of life. Despite the diversity, ecological significance, and …

The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental
mammals remain controversial. We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of …

Identifying our most distant animal relatives has emerged as one of the most challenging
problems in phylogenetics. This debate has major implications for our understanding of the …

Species is the fundamental unit to quantify biodiversity. In recent years, the model yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has seen an increased number of studies related to its …

Ferns are the second largest clade of vascular plants with over 10,000 species, yet the
generation of genomic resources for the group has lagged behind other major clades of …

Phylogenetic tree inference is a classic fundamental task in evolutionary biology that entails
inferring the evolutionary relationship of targets based on multiple sequence alignment …

Topological conflict or incongruence is widespread in phylogenomic data. Concatenation-
and coalescent-based approaches often result in incongruent topologies, but the causes of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of nonprotein-coding short transcripts that provide a layer
of post-transcriptional regulation essential to many plant biological processes. MiR858 …
