Abstract
Key PointsUnderstanding phylogenetic relationships among organisms is a prerequisite of evolutionary studies, as contemporary species all share a common history through their ancestry.The wealth of sequence data generated by large-scale genome projects is transforming phylogenetics — the reconstruction of evolutionary history — into phylogenomics.Traditional sequence-based methods of phylogenetic reconstruction (supermatrix and supertree …
