Four main monophyletic lineages are found in analyses of these data.
These are the single genus orders Microbiotheria (Dromicopis australis) and Notoryctemorphia (Notoryctes typhlops - the Australian marsupial mole), a grouping of the American orders Didelphimorphia and Paucituberculata, and the Australasian species other than N.
Within Australasia, there are again four main monophyletic groups; the Dasyuridae, two bandicoot lineages (one comprised of pseudogene sequences which clusters with the numbat, Myrmecobius fasciatus) and the Diprotodontia (kangaroo, Australian possums, etc).
