High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time-and cost-effective sequencing of
large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many …

Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) has emerged as a promising tool
for inferring evolutionary history in many taxa, with utility ranging from phylogenetic and …

The Angiosperms353 gene set (AGS) consists of a set of 353 universal low-copy nuclear
genes that were selected by examining more than 600 angiosperm species. These genes …

Alignment is a crucial issue in molecular phylogenetics because different alignment
methods can potentially yield very different topologies for individual genes. But it is unclear if …

Target enrichment (such as Hyb-Seq) is a well-established high throughput sequencing
method that has been increasingly used for phylogenomic studies. Unfortunately, current …

PREMISE Universal target enrichment kits maximize utility across wide evolutionary breadth
while minimizing the number of baits required to create a cost‐efficient kit. The …

PREMISE Hybrids contain divergent alleles that can confound phylogenetic analyses but
can provide insights into reticulated evolution when identified and phased. We developed a …

Target enrichment is becoming increasingly popular for phylogenomic studies. Although
baits for enrichment are typically designed to target single-copy genes, paralogs are often …

Understanding the evolutionary dynamics of genetic diversity is fundamental for species
conservation in the face of climate change, particularly in hyper-diverse biomes. Species in …

Abstract Background and Aims Biogeographical relationships between the Canary Islands
and north-west Africa are often explained by oceanic dispersal and geographical proximity …
