Transcriptome and genome data from all major molluscan lineages except Monoplacophora support sampled Aculifera and a gastropod–bivalve clade under the reported models.
The Kocot et al. transcriptome–genome matrices recover sampled Polyplacophora with monophyletic Aplacophora as Aculifera and recover a gastropod–bivalve clade, while excluding Monoplacophora and leaving some conchiferan alternatives statistically unresolved.
claim:event:aculifera-phylogenomic-topologyTranscriptome–genome matrices recover sampled Polyplacophora plus Aplacophora as Aculifera, but omitted Monoplacophora and alternative matrices limit this to a study-specific living-taxon topology.
