The phylogeny and timescale of life are becoming better understood as the analysis of genomic data from model organisms continues to grow. As a result, discoveries are being made about the early history of life and the origin and development of complex multicellular life. This emerging comparative framework and the emphasis on historical patterns is helping to bridge barriers among organism-based research communities.
随着对模式生物基因组数据的分析不断增加，生命的系统发育和时间尺度正得到更好的理解。因此，关于生命早期历史以及复杂多细胞生命的起源和发展的发现不断涌现。这个新兴的比较框架以及对历史模式的强调，正在帮助跨越基于生物的研究群体之间的障碍。
