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...
Embracing heterogeneity: Coalescing the tree of life and the future of phylogen...
Bravo, Gustavo A.; Antonelli, Alexandre; Bacon, Christine D.; Bartoszek, Krzysztof; Blom, Mozes P.K.; Huynh, Stella; Jones, Graham R.; Lacey Knowles, L.Building the Tree of Life (ToL) is a major challenge of modern biology, requiring advances in cyberinfrastructure, data collection, theory, and more. Here, we argue that phylogenomics stands to benefit by embracing the many heterogeneous genomic signals emerging from the first decade of large-scale phylogenetic analysis spawned by high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Such signals include those most commonly encoun...
