The paper uses transcriptomes to resolve phylogenetic relationships and uncover undescribed diversity in Prophysaon slugs, questioning existing classifications and suggesting introgression.

This paper shows that using larger gene families with multiple copies can reduce long-branch attraction errors in phylogenetic analysis, improving accuracy compared to single-copy genes.

This paper demonstrates that domain adaptation improves the accuracy of detecting introgression in population genetics, even when unmodelled processes like ghost introgression are present.

reconcILS improves gene tree-species tree reconciliation by incorporating incomplete lineage sorting through NNI events, outperforming existing methods on simulated and primate datasets.
