Not a dumb question at all! On the contrary, this type of method has been tried a number of times (e.g. www.cell.com/current-biol... ). Definitely something to look at in the future!
Filtering artifactual signal increases support for Xenacoelomorpha and Ambulacraria sister relationship in the animal tree of life
Mulhair, McCarthy et al. explore the signal for alternative topologies relating to
the placement of Xenacoelomorpha. They determine that by filtering out genes whose
trees violate incontrovertible cla...

Lophophorata is monophyletic!
Super excited to see this work out in Current Biology - we sequenced a phoronid genome and used shared chromosome fusions to confirm the monophyly of Lophophorata.
A big team effort from the Luo Lab @yjluo.bsky.social!

Delighted to see our new paper out, led by PhD student Asia Hoile. We explored new genes that emerged during the early evolution of Lepidoptera 🦋
Many cool insights which we think open up new questions to explore.
Get in touch if you have thoughts/want to discuss more!

Gene novelty and gene family expansion in the early evolution of Lepidoptera - BMC Genomics
Background Almost 10% of all known animal species belong to Lepidoptera: moths and butterflies. To understand how this incredible diversity evolved we assess the role of gene gain in driving early lep...
