New tool enables phylogenomic analyses of entire genomes

Researchers led by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a better way to perform the comparative analysis of entire genomes. This approach can be used to study relationships between different species across geological time scales.

The promise and pitfalls of synteny in phylogenomics

Reconstructing the tree of life is a central goal in biology. This Essay discusses the use of synteny, an emerging phylogenomic marker, for reconstructing the tree of life and propose a roadmap for conducting rigorous and accurate synteny-based phylogenomic analysis.
