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 …

Phylogenomics refers to the inference of historical relationships among species using
genome-scale sequence data and to the use of phylogenetic analysis to infer protein …

Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to
modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of …

Understanding of the phylogeny and interrelationships of the genera within the order
'Enterobacteriales' has proven difficult using the 16S rRNA gene and other single-gene or …

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 …

In phylogenomics the analysis of concatenated gene alignments, the so-called supermatrix,
is commonly accompanied by the assumption of partition models. Under such models each …

The field of molecular evolution has experienced explosive growth in recent years due to the
rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, continuous improvements to computer …

Ruf, S. & Bock, R.(2012) The contributions of wobbling and superwobbling to the reading of …

Horseshoe crabs (Xiphosura) are traditionally regarded as sister group to the clade of
terrestrial chelicerates (Arachnida). This hypothesis has been challenged by recent …

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