| Research Abstract |
Problems misleading in the phylogenetic analyses of genome-scale data were studied, and methods to overcome these problems were developed. (1)The method for testing whether there existed the Universal Common Ancestor for all extant species on Earth was evaluated. (2)Based on a population genetic analysis of nuclear genomes, we obtained an evidence for the hypothesis that the polar bear evolved from a local population of the brown bear, that is, the brown bear is not monophyletic. (3)It was shown that several misleading signals in the eutherian tree of mitochondrial genomes are relieved by increasing the density of taxon sampling.
