Even though simulated random LGT regimes tended to diminish statistical support for more-ancient relationships rather than offering strongly supported alternatives in average trees, phylogenetic approaches have been shown, in theory and in practice, to favour one topology even if the input data are generated equally on two or more trees [ 73, 74].
In contrast to broad consensus across methods for resolution of relationships among more recent groupings of species, concatenated and gene-tree-based methods (BEST) inferred several alternative relationships among more ancient lineages of staphylococcal species.
Second, calculation of the p-distances between groups (Table 1) indicates that the AMER group is the most divergent compared to the other three groups, suggesting its more ancient origin (and a closer relationship with IND-AUS group).
Interestingly, limited data from D. fasciculatum, a more ancient member among the social amoebae, show different relationships between conventional actins.
However, barring RnfH, the exact relationships of these more sporadic bacterial lineages to the more ancient lineages of the classical 5-stranded clade remain unclear.
The majority of the group 1 members show distinctive ortholog relationships with bZIPs from other Phytophthora and oomycete species consistent with a more ancient origin.
However, for these old events, chromosome chromosome synteny relationships have eroded to the extent that ancestral karyotypes can no longer be proposed or related yet to more ancient mass species extinction events, then not investigated in the current analysis.
More ancient clusters have been identified.
Unoriginality was much more ancient than I had originally suspected.
Many still more ancient delta lobes are now submerged.
