Polytene chromosome phylogenies have become commonplace in the examination of this family of flies.
An emerging pattern found in gene and protein phylogenies that include prokaryotes (archaebacteria and eubacteria) and eukaryotes is the variable position of eukaryotes.
Realizing the difficulty of estimating the relationships between organisms using molecular phylogenies, some authors have proposed a genomic method based on the common gene content of the genomes [ 2, 3].
Given the alternate hypotheses of (1) Common origin followed by sequence divergence, or (2) Independent origin of multiple arsC sequence types with broadly similar reaction centers and general mechanisms, based on the phylogenies observed and the general rarity of convergent evolution at a sequence level [ 33 34 ] we suggest that the former is more likely.
Recent studies suggest that HGT events may have been much more widespread during prokaryotic evolution than had been previously thought, with genetic exchange even occurring between Bacteria and Archaea [ 35 36 37 ] . While we see no evidence of cross-domain transfer of arsC genes, a number of HGT events could explain some of the discrepancies between 16S rRNA-based and arsC -based phylogenies.
