Bayesian phylogenetic analysis supports monophyly of ambulacraria and of cyclostomesRebecca F Furlong
School of Animal and Microbial Sciences, The University of Reading, Whiteknoghts, UK
Zoolog Sci 19:593-9. 2002..Using robust Bayesian statistical analysis of 18S ribosomal DNA, mitochondrial genes and nuclear protein-coding DNA, we find strong support for a hemichordate-echinoderm clade, and for monophyly of the cyclostomes...

School of Animal and Microbial Sciences, The University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading RG6 6AJ, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 357:531-44. 2002..We propose that early vertebrates passed through an autoautooctoploid phase in the evolution of their genomes...
