This study introduces a method to address phylogenetic bias caused by compositional heterogeneity and shows it reduces long branch attraction artifacts in metazoan datasets.

This study investigates the evolutionary divergence between bryophytes and tracheophytes, finding they split from a common ancestor during the Cambrian and underwent distinct genomic changes.

This paper shows plants minimize mutation accumulation by optimizing cell division patterns in apical buds to approach a theoretical minimum branching cost.

The paper estimates the deepest branches of the tree of life by analyzing marker genes and shows that current methods underestimate the Archaea-Bacteria branch length due to substitutional saturation and poor model fit.

The paper shows that a trade-off between mutation accumulation and differentiation commitment shapes tissue organization to limit cancer risk.

The paper infers a rooted bacterial phylogeny using gene duplication, transfer, and loss events, revealing a basal split between Terrabacteria and Gracilicutes and rejecting a root between CPR and other Bacteria.
