Evidence for sponges as sister to all other animals from partitioned phylogenomics with mixture models and recoding

Branching artefacts can confound the reconstruction of deep evolutionary relationships. Here, the authors show improvement in partitioned phylogenomic analyses when using site-heterogeneous models and amino acid recoding, including in resolving the debated phylogenetic placement of comb jellies.
