Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs for Phylogenomics: The Impact of Paralogy
Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (USCOs) are taxonomically-defined gene sets originally proposed to evaluate completeness in genome assemblies. Due to their single- or low-copy nature, they have also been proposed as ideal markers for phylogenomics. Here, we test this assumption using two vertebrate datasets, mammals and ray-finned fish, and their corresponding USCO reference marker sets,…
