Abstract in brief
Phylogenomics, which involves analyzing complete genomes, is revolutionizing the way scientists reconstruct the evolutionary history of organisms.
This approach has shown great potential for answering key questions about evolution, but also faces challenges due to the complex nature of evolutionary history and limitations of current methods.
As a result, some parts of the tree of life may remain difficult or impossible to determine accurately in the future.
