Very nice and timely paper on phylogenomic model choice.
Strong evidence that mixture models outperform homogeneous and partitioned approaches, with CAT-GTR showing robust performance across conditions.
Highly relevant for difficult phylogenetic problems. academic.oup.com/mbe/advance…

😻 HUGE NEWS! We've done it! One of the "Magnificent 8" – key missing lineages for understanding animal origins – is ALIVE in our lab!
Previously just DNA whispers, Maop 2 could now open a new chapter for research. 📖 We will soon formally "introduce" it to the scientific world.
Watch our team’s excitement in the video!
Massive thanks to @Luisjagago (isolation wizard!) & @beaplab_ibe (crucial throughout!).

🦠🌍 @ScienceMagazine study reveals oxygen-using bacteria existed 900M years before Earth's atmosphere had significant oxygen. This suggests some bacteria could use trace oxygen before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis. @sllsi 👇 oist.jp/news-center/news/202…
