The most straightforward version of this type of analysis, to which we hereinafter refer to as 'genome-tree' building, involves scaling-up the traditional tree-building approach and analyzing the phylogenetic trees for multiple gene families (in principle, all families represented in many genomes), in an attempt to derive a consensus, 'organismal' phylogeny [ 3 4 5 ] . However, because of the wide spread of horizontal gene transfer and lineage-specific gene loss, at least in the prokaryotic world, comparison of trees for different families and consensus derivation may become highly problematic [ 6 7 ] . Probably due to all these problems, a pessimistic conclusion has been reached that prokaryotic phylogeny might not be reconstructable from protein sequences, at least with current phylogenetic methods [ 4 ] .
Woese [ 16] contends that the rRNA tree is a valid representation of organismal genealogy, that LGT was rampant only before the initial bifurcation of the universal phylogenetic tree, and that LGT has become progressively more restricted as a function of elapsed evolutionary time.
Duplicate gene evolution has most likely played a substantial role in both the rapid changes in organismal complexity apparent in deep evolutionary splits and the diversification of more closely related species.
The metaphor for organismal evolution that underlies a natural taxonomic system is a strictly bifurcating tree of species.
Genome duplication events generate a duplicate for every gene in the genome, representing a huge opportunity for a step-change in organismal complexity.
