This is surprising to me, mostly because it seems like a lot of work (both sequencing and the comparison). Do you (or @Mercer or @NLENTS or anybody else) know of any good seminal work reviewing this (establishing universal common ancestry through DNA/Protein sequences) that you could point me towards? I’d like to dig into it a little bit more. As a non-expert, sometimes it’s nice to get a peak inside some of the major results of another field.
