Phylogenomics and the reconstruction of the tree of life
F Delsuc, H Brinkmann, H Philippe - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2005 - nature.com
As more complete genomes are sequenced, phylogenetic analysis is entering a new era—
that of phylogenomics. One branch of this expanding field aims to reconstruct the …

Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA
DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

Why do phylogenomic data sets yield conflicting trees? Data type influences the avian tree of life more than taxon sampling
Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been
viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life …

From algae to angiosperms–inferring the phylogeny of green plants (Viridiplantae) from 360 plastid genomes
Background Next-generation sequencing has provided a wealth of plastid genome
sequence data from an increasingly diverse set of green plants (Viridiplantae). Although …

Resolving conflict in eutherian mammal phylogeny using phylogenomics and the multispecies coalescent model

The reconstruction of the Tree of Life has relied almost entirely on concatenation methods,
which do not accommodate gene tree heterogeneity, a property that simulations and theory …

Toward automatic reconstruction of a highly resolved tree of life
We have developed an automatable procedure for reconstructing the tree of life with branch
lengths comparable across all three domains. The tree has its basis in a concatenation of 31 …

Taxon sampling and the accuracy of phylogenetic analyses
Appropriate and extensive taxon sampling is one of the most important determinants of
accurate phylogenetic estimation. In addition, accuracy of inferences about evolutionary …

Using plastid genome-scale data to resolve enigmatic relationships among basal angiosperms
Although great progress has been made in clarifying deep-level angiosperm relationships,
several early nodes in the angiosperm branch of the Tree of Life have proved difficult to …

Primate phylogenetic relationships and divergence dates inferred from complete mitochondrial genomes
The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …

The phylogeny and classification of post-Palaeozoic echinoids
The relationships of post-Palaeozoic echinoids at family level are established through
phylogenetic analysis of 169 taxa and 306 skeletal characters (excluding pedicellariae) …
