What we talk about when we talk about species

2025-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Genome annotation, alignment, and phylogenetics are at the center of most work in evolutionary genomics. These techniques function best when rooted in prior work. Genes are mined from new genomes using evidence from old gene models. These genomes are aligned to well-worn references to create matrices for tree reconstruction. And trees are often populated with well characterized genomes to add context to the newly...
