Genome-scale approach proofs that the lungfish-coelacanth sister group is the closest living relative of tetrapods with Bayesian method under coalescence model

TL;DR

This study employs a genome-scale Bayesian coalescence approach to identify the lungfish-coelacanth sister group as the closest living relatives of tetrapods.

Contribution

It introduces a genome-scale Bayesian method under the coalescence model to resolve phylogenetic relationships among vertebrates.

Findings

Lungfish and coelacanth form a sister group to tetrapods

Bayesian coalescence method supports this phylogenetic relationship

Provides new insights into vertebrate evolutionary history
