To better understand the phylogeny of extant echinoderms and the placement of Xyloplax, we employed RNA-Seq to retrieve large numbers of orthologous loci from each transcriptome of 40 echinoderm speci
Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life. However, it has
