Phylogenomics establishes an Early Miocene reconstruction of reef vertebrate diversity

A study published in Science Advances titled “Phylogenomics establishes an Early Miocene reconstruction of reef vertebrate diversity” utilized Daicel Arbor Biosciences’ myBaits^® and myReads^® technologies to investigate the evolutionary history of wrasses and parrotfishes. By employing genome-scale datasets, the research uncovered significant diversification events during the Early Miocene, approximately 20 to 15 million years ago, suggesting a major reassembly of reef vertebrate diversity. The integration of myBaits hybridization capture and myReads NGS services facilitated high-resolution genomic analyses, providing insights into the complex interplay of ecological opportunities following mass extinctions.​
