This project investigates the origins of animals by analyzing genomic data from sponges and comb-jellies. It aims to clarify evolutionary relationships and the development of complex systems in early animal ancestors through advanced phylogenomic techniques.
One of the most fundamental questions in evolutionary biology is centred on our ancestors:
How did animals originate?
Recent advances in various disciplines have refined this question of whether the most profound divergence in the animal phylogenetic tree, estimated to have occurred approximately 800 million years ago, was between the sponges (Porifera) or the comb-jellies (Ctenophora), and this remains a contentious point of discussion within the scientific community.
