A Guide to Carrying Out a Phylogenomic Target Sequence Capture Project
Andermann, Tobias; Torres-Jiminez, Maria Fernanda; Matos-Maraví, Pável F.; Batista, Romina B.; Blanco-Pastor, José Luis; Gustafsson, A. Lovisa S.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 phylogenetic studies focus sequencing effort on large sets of pre-selected loci, which further reduces costs and bioinformatic challenges while increasing coverage. One common approach that enriches loci before sequencing is often referred...
Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research
Antonelli, Alexandre; Ariza, María A.; Albert, James Spurling; Andermann, Tobias; Azevedo, Josué A.R.; Bacon, Christine D.; Faurby, SørenThe unparalleled biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in recent years in our understanding of the origin and diversification of many Neotropical taxa and biotic regions, many questions remain to be answered. Additional biological and geological data are still needed, as well as methodological advances that ar...
Phylogenomics and biogeography of the world's thrushes (Aves, Turdus): New evid...
Batista, Romina B.; Olsson, Urban; Andermann, Tobias; Aleixo, Alexandre; Ribas, Camila Cherem; Antonelli, AlexandreTo elucidate the relationships and spatial range evolution across the world of the bird genus Turdus (Aves), we produced a large genomic dataset comprising ca 2 million nucleotides for ca 100 samples representing 53 species, including over 2000 loci. We estimated time-calibrated maximum-likelihood and multispecies coalescent phylogenies and carried out biogeographic analyses. Our results indicate that there hav...
