On the impact of incomplete taxon sampling on the relative timing of gene transfer events

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
A recent study questioned the use of branch length methods to assess the relative timing of horizontal gene transfers because of the effects of so-called "ghost" lineages. This Formal Comment discusses key considerations regarding the potential effect of missing lineages when assessing relative timing of evolutionary events.
