In a massive DNA analysis that took nearly a decade to complete, former NESCent Director Cliff Cunningham and colleagues have compared genetic sequences from 75 different species to draw a new family tree that includes every major arthropod lineage. Some of the relationships are so surprising that new names had to be coined for five newly-discovered groupings.
