A Phylogenomic Framework and Divergence History of Cephalochordata Amphioxus

A Phylogenomic Framework and Divergence History of Cephalochordata Amphioxus

Amphioxus, or cephalochordates, are often used as the living invertebrate proxy of vertebrate ancestors and are widely used as evolutionary biology models of chordates. However, their phylogeny, divergence history, and speciation characteristics remain poorly understood, and phylogenomic studies to...
