Through the most extensive phylogenomic analysis carried out to date, complete genomes of 11 eukaryotic species have been examined in order to find the homologous of more than 25,000 amino acid sequences. These sequences correspond to the exons of more than 3000 genes and were used as presence/absence characters to test one of the most controversial hypotheses concerning animal evolution, namely the Ecdysozoa hypothesis. Distance, maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods of phylogenetic reconstruction were used to test the hypothesis.
