Rates of genome evolution and branching order from whole genome analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Accurate estimation of any phylogeny is important as a framework for evolutionary analysis of form and function at all levels of organization from sequence to whole organism. Using alignments of nonrepetitive components of opossum, human, mouse, rat, and dog genomes we evaluated two alternative tree topologies for eutherian evolution. We show with very high confidence that there is a basal split between rodents...
