Abstract: Long-branch attraction (LBA) is a well-known artifact in phylogenetic reconstruction. Sparse taxon sampling and extreme heterogeneity of evolutionary rates among lineages generate propitious situations for LBA, even defying probabilistic methods of phylogenetic inference. A clear… read more here.

Abstract: The majority strand of mitochondrial genomes of crustaceans usually exhibits negative GC skews. Most isopods exhibit an inversed strand asymmetry, believed to be a consequence of an inversion of the replication origin (ROI). Recently, we… read more here.
