clade is sister of Stolidobranchia (that is, not basal in Tunicates).
Stolidobranchia. Nevertheless, it might be an artefact of AT-richness or
long-branch attraction ([[Tsagkogeorga et al, 2009|biblio/19656395]]).
- - Based on 258 orthologous proteins from 63 species, Oikopleuridae is basal to
- all other tunicates ([[Delsuc et al., 2018|biblio/29653534]]).
+ - Studies based on 146 genes in 28 species ([[Delsuc et al., 2006|biblio/16495997]])
+ and then 258 orthologous proteins from 63 species ([[Delsuc et al., 2018|biblio/29653534]])
+ show that Oikopleuridae is basal to all other tunicates.
