摘要

Phylogenomics comprises an interdisciplinary field of comparative biology that uses genomic data to produce phylogenetic relationships among organisms (Philippe et al.,2005;Chan & Ragan,2013).The term "phylogenomics" was initially applied to studies on gene functions (Eisen,1998) but subsequently has been widely used to infer the tree of life (Philippe et al.,2004,2005;Pennisi,2008;Zou et al.,2008;Dos Reis et al.,2012;Liu et al.,2015a,2015b).With the advent and rapid development of next-generation sequencing (NGS),phylogenomics has gained more popularity in the last few years and is now being employed by many members of the evolutionary and systematics community (Lemmon & Lemmon,2013;Wen et al.,2013,2015;Jarvis et al.,2014;Weitemier et al.,2014;Wickett et al.,2014;Zeng et al.,2014).
