A taxon-rich and genome-scale phylogeny of Opisthokonta.

ABSTRACT: Ancient divergences within Opisthokonta-a major lineage that includes organisms in the kingdoms Animalia, Fungi, and their unicellular relatives-remain contentious. To assess progress toward a genome-scale Opisthokonta phylogeny, we conducted the most taxon rich phylogenomic analysis using sets of genes inferred with different orthology inference methods and established the geological timeline of Opisthokonta diversification. We also conducted sensitivity analysis by subsampling genes or taxa from the full data matrix based on filtering criteria previously shown to improve phylogenomic inference. We found that approximately 85% of internal branches were congruent across data matrices and the approaches used. Notably, the use of different orthology inference methods was a substantial contri
