Molecular data play a key role in phylogenetic inference. Mammalian systematics provides us with a clear example, with several previously open evolutionary questions now able to be answered. However, molecular studies have until present used only a handful of classic markers and have not attempted to utilise the information contained within the increasingly large pool of mammalian genome sequences. The identification and utilisation of potentially new informative markers from this pool can help to further resolve the mammalian phylogenetic tree.
