Identifying and addressing methodological incongruence in phylogenomics: A review.

ABSTRACT: The availability of phylogenetic data has greatly expanded in recent years. As a result, a new era in phylogenetic analysis is dawning-one in which the methods we use to analyse and assess our data are the bottleneck to producing valuable phylogenetic hypotheses, rather than the need to acquire more data. This makes the ability to accurately appraise and evaluate new methods of phylogenetic analysis and phylogenetic artefact identification more important than ever. Incongruence in phylogenetic reconstructions based on different datasets may be due to two major sources: biological and methodological. Biological sources comprise processes like horizontal gene transfer, hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting, while methodological ones contain falsely assigned data or violations of the a
