Abstract

While great progress toward discovering the evolutionary relationships of major animal groups has been made in the past 2 decades, significant portions of the animal tree remain unresolved. A recent manuscript in Nature by Dunn and colleagues tackles this problem using massive sequence data sets from many taxa-the so-called "phylogenomic" approach.
