Mitochondrial RNA editing sites affect the phylogenetic reconstruction of gymnosperms

• RNA editing sites may contain homoplasious signals that cause artifactual inferences in phylogenetic analyses. • Excluding RNA editing sites from gymnosperm mitochondrial genes restored the sister relationship of gnetophytes and Pinaceae. • Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomic data...

Sumario:• RNA editing sites may contain homoplasious signals that cause artifactual inferences in phylogenetic analyses. • Excluding RNA editing sites from gymnosperm mitochondrial genes restored the sister relationship of gnetophytes and Pinaceae. • Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomic data should carefully evaluate the impact of RNA editing sites.
