Support for a clade of Placozoa and Cnidaria in genes with minimal compositional bias

Support for a clade of Placozoa and Cnidaria in genes with minimal compositional bias

The phylogenetic placement of the morphologically simple placozoans is crucial to understanding the evolution of complex animal traits. Here, we examine the influence of adding new genomes from placozoans to a large dataset designed to study the deepest splits in the animal phylogeny. Using site-het...
