In the present study, by using data generated from hundreds of mtDNA sequences, we revalue the deuterostome phylogeny in terms of whole mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes).
So, these scientists think S. coronarius could be one of the earliest deuterostomes, based on comparisons of more than 60 features to other living creatures and fossils.
因此,这些科学家认为 S. coronarius 可能是最早后口动物之一,基于与其他生物和化石 60 多种特征比较。
