Homoplastic microinversions and the avian tree of life
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microinversions are cytologically undetectable inversions of DNA sequences that accumulate slowly in genomes. Like many other rare genomic changes (RGCs), microinversions are thought to be virtually homoplasy-free evolutionary charac...
