The Guenons: Diversity and Adaptation in African Monkeys (2002, background): “2); such insertion events are evolutionarily rare and therefore considered strong indicators of shared ancestry (Rokas and Holland, 2000; Tosi et al., 2002a,b).”
A mitochondrial genome phylogeny of Diptera: whole genome sequence data accurately resolve relationships over broad timescales with high precision (2007, methodology): “Two approaches to the use of the mt genome have been proposed: uncovering shared genome rearrangements and use of the whole genome in sequence-based phylogenies (e.g. Boore & Brown, 1998; Rokas & Holland, 2000).”
Phylogenomics and the reconstruction of the tree of life (2005, background): “Interestingly, phylogenomics is also providing the opportunity to use new 'morphological-like' characters that are based on genome structure, such as rare genomic changes (RGCs”
The origin of annelids (2014, background): “Rare genomic changes are thought to be reliable signatures in phylogenetics (Rokas and Holland 2000) as they are conserved over geological time, are analytically simple and, in the case of miRNAs, have the potential to be homoplasy free (Tarver et al. 2013).”
Insect mitochondrial genomics: implications for evolution and phylogeny. (2014, background): “Thus, empirically within insects, mt genome rearrangements largely fulfill the criteria of ideal phylogenetic characters hypothesized by early enthusiasts (14, 98).”
Molecular markers for the phylogenetics of mites and ticks (2002, neutral): “An alternative approach to sequencing genes is the identification of molecular characters which evolve so rarely that the probability that they have evolved on separate occasions in different lineages is negligible, i.e. they are relatively free of homoplasy (Rokas & Holland, 2000).”
