This document discusses the use of models like Phyldog and Exodt to study gene duplication, transfer, and loss, thereby enhancing our understanding of genome evolution in various organisms, including mammals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. It outlines the collaborations involved, the plans for research focusing on different approaches to gene analysis, and improvements made to existing algorithms for more accurate phylogenetic trees. The document also highlights the age and gene family composition of the species studied and the expectation of transfer frequencies among them.
