Furthermore, despite the claim that evolution has no application, phylogenetic comparisons of humans and other organisms allows us to identify the precise location and putative function of genes responsible for developmental disorders.

Not exact matches

Regarding phlyogeny v. phylogenetics, if what you meant to say was that phylogeny based on morphology has been shown to be false or is confounded by unreasonably high error rates in light of phylogenetic techniques, you're patently incorrect as the prior trees based on morphology have consistently, albeit not perfectly, matched the trees produced by genetic comparisons.

However, the results of more recent phylogenetic analyses, derived from comparisons between sequences of specific genes and of whole genomes, seemed to point to Ctenophora as the first group that parted company with the lineage from which the rest of the animal kingdom (including sponges) evolved.
