Nuclear genomic signals of the ‘microturbellarian’ roots of platyhelminth evolutionary innovation

Flatworms number among the most diverse invertebrate phyla and represent the most biomedically significant branch of the major bilaterian clade Spiralia, but to date, deep evolutionary relationships within this group have been studied using only a single locus (the rRNA operon), leaving the origins...
