Short interspersed repetitive elements - SINEs - are being championed as near-perfect phylogenetic characters; they have recently been used with notable success to resolve some phylogenetic conundrums, but they do have certain limitations that restrict their use as 'perfect' characters for molecular systematics.
短散在重复元件(SINEs)被推崇为近乎完美的系统发育特征;它们最近在解决一些系统发育难题方面取得了显著成功,但它们确实存在某些局限性,限制了它们作为分子系统学“完美”特征的应用。
