Freeliving cyanobacteria were entrapped by eukaryotic cells~ 2 billion years ago, ultimately
giving rise to chloroplasts. After a century of debate, the presence of chloroplast DNA was …

ABSTRACT DNA barcoding is currently a widely used and effective tool that enables rapid
and accurate identification of plant species; however, none of the available loci work across …

Premise of the study: Using sequence data generated via target enrichment for
phylogenetics requires reassembly of highthroughput sequence reads into loci, presenting …

DNA barcoding has had a major impact on biodiversity science. The elegant simplicity of
establishing massive scale databases for a few barcode loci is continuing to change our …

Land plants underpin a multitude of ecosystem functions, support human livelihoods and
represent a critically important component of terrestrial biodiversity—yet many tens of …

Background Next-generation sequencing has provided a wealth of plastid genome
sequence data from an increasingly diverse set of green plants (Viridiplantae). Although …

• Premise of the study: HybSeq, the combination of target enrichment and genome
skimming, allows simultaneous data collection for lowcopy nuclear genes and highcopy …

High-throughput genomic sequencing is rapidly changing the field of phylogenetics by
decreasing the cost and increasing the quantity and rate of data collection by several orders …

The past decade has seen a major breakthrough in our ability to easily and inexpensively
sequence genomescale data from diverse lineages. The development of highthroughput …

• Premise of the study: Noncoding chloroplast DNA (NCcpDNA) sequences are the staple
data source of lowlevel phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies of angiosperms. We …
