phylogenomic data

Phylogenomic data refers to the large-scale genetic information from multiple genes or entire genomes used to study the evolutionary relationships among species. By comparing these genetic sequences, scientists can construct detailed "family trees" that show how different species are related and how they have evolved over time. This approach provides a more comprehensive understanding than analyzing single genes, as it captures the complexity of genetic changes across entire genomes, helping us understand the history of life on Earth with greater accuracy.
