A region of suppressed recombination misleads neoavian #phylogenomics https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2319506121
"This section, just 2% of the bird #genome, convinced #scientists that most #birds could be grouped into two major categories, with #flamingos and #doves as evolutionary cousins. The more accurate family tree identifies four main groups and identifies flamingos and doves as more distantly related."
