If I remember correctly, BastionMonk said that the majority of our knowledge of the genomes of non-avian dinosaurs would come from comparing the DNA of modern archosauromorphs (avians, crocodilians, testudines), so how would that help with figuring out the genomes of dinosaurs far removed from the lineage that gave rise to avians? Also, since I forgot to bring this up in my last post, how would it help with figuring out pterosaur genomes? Any thoughts?
