Phylogenomic analysis of Odyssella thessalonicensis fortifies the common origin of Rickettsiales, Pelagibacter ubique and Reclimonas americana mitochondrion.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundThe evolution of the Alphaproteobacteria and origin of the mitochondria are topics of considerable debate. Most studies have placed the mitochondria ancestor within the Rickettsiales order.

Genome-scale data resolve ancestral rock-inhabiting lifestyle in Dothideomycetes (Ascomycota)

IMA Fungus, 2019
Dothideomycetes is the most diverse fungal class in Ascomycota and includes species with a wide range of lifestyles. Previous multilocus studies have investigated the taxonomic and evolutionary relationships of these taxa but often failed to resolve ...

Plastome phylogenomics and phylogenetic diversity of endangered and threatened grassland species (Poaceae) in a North American tallgrass prairie

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Native grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America. In this study, we examined the ecological and evolutionary roles of endangered and threatened (e/t) grasses by establishing robust evolutionary relationships with other ...

Plastid phylogenomics resolves ambiguous relationships within the orchid family and provides a solid timeframe for biogeography and macroevolution

Scientific Reports, 2021
Recent phylogenomic analyses based on the maternally inherited plastid organelle have enlightened evolutionary relationships between the subfamilies of Orchidaceae and most of the tribes.

Phylogenomic approaches to deciphering the tree of life [PDF]

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2015
Phylogenomics comprises an interdisciplinary field of comparative biology that uses genomic data to produce phylogenetic relationships among organisms (Philippe et al., 2005; Chan & Ragan, 2013). The term “phylogenomics” was initially applied to studies on gene functions (Eisen, 1998) but subsequently has been widely used to infer the tree of life ...

Resolution among major placental mammal interordinal relationships with genome data imply that speciation influenced their earliest radiations

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background A number of the deeper divergences in the placental mammal tree are still inconclusively resolved despite extensive phylogenomic analyses.

The Compositae Tree of Life in the age of phylogenomics [PDF]

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2017
AbstractComprising more than 25 000 species, the Sunflower Family (Compositae or Asteraceae) is the largest family of flowering plants. Many of its lineages have experienced recent and rapid radiations, and the family has a deep and widespread history of large‐scale gene duplications and polyploidy.

A cnidarian phylogenomic tree fitted with hundreds of 18S leaves

Bulletin of the Society of Systematic Biologists, 2022
Abstract Cnidarians are critical members of aquatic communities and have been an experimental system for a diversity of research areas ranging from development to biomechanics to global change biology. Yet we still lack a well-resolved, taxonomically balanced, cnidarian tree of life to place this research in appropriate phylogenetic ...

Phylogenomics-Based Reconstruction of Protozoan Species Tree

Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2011
We have developed a semi-automatic methodology to reconstruct the phylogenetic species tree in Protozoa, integrating different phylogenetic algorithms and programs, and demonstrating the utility of a supermatrix approach to construct phylogenomics-based trees using 31 universal orthologs (UO).
