topology · mediumA 25-vertebrate phylogenomic matrix, bowfin transcriptomic evidence and conserved-synteny comparisons support living gars plus bowfin as Holostei, sister to Teleostei, while the spotted-gar genome supplies a lineage that diverged before teleost genome duplication rather than evidence of morphological stasis.
