Dissecting phylogenetic signal and accounting for bias in whole-genome data sets: a case study of the Metazoa

Transcriptome-enabled phylogenetic analyses have dramatically improved our understanding of metazoan phylogeny in recent years, although several important questions remain. The branching order near the base of the tree is one such outstanding issue. To address this question we assemble a novel data set comprised of 1,080 orthologous loci derived from 36 publicly available genomes and dissect th...

Extracting phylogenetic information from whole-genome sequencing projects: the lactic acid bacteria as a test case.

The availability of an ever increasing number of complete genome sequences of diverse prokaryotic taxa has led to the introduction of novel approaches to infer phylogenetic relationships among bacteria. In the present study the sequences of the 16S rRNA gene and nine housekeeping genes were compared with the fraction of shared putative orthologous protein-encoding genes, conservation of gene or...

Error, signal, and the placement of Ctenophora sister to all other animals.

Elucidating relationships among early animal lineages has been difficult, and recent phylogenomic analyses place Ctenophora sister to all other extant animals, contrary to the traditional view of Porifera as the earliest-branching animal lineage. To date, phylogenetic support for either ctenophores or sponges as sister to other animals has been limited and inconsistent among studies. Lack of ag...

Geometric morphometric character suites as phylogenetic data: extracting phylogenetic signal from gastropod shells.

Despite being the objects of numerous macroevolutionary studies, many of the best represented constituents of the fossil record-including diverse examples such as foraminifera, brachiopods, and mollusks-have mineralized skeletons with limited discrete characteristics, making morphological phylogenies difficult to construct. In contrast to their paucity of phylogenetic characters, the mineralize...
