A target enrichment probe set for resolving phylogenetic relationships in the coffee family, Rubiaceae.

ABSTRACT:

Premise

Rubiaceae is among the most species-rich plant families, as well as one of the most morphologically and geographically diverse. Currently available phylogenies have mostly relied on few genomic and plastid loci, as opposed to large-scale genomic data. Target enrichment provides the ability to generate sequence data for hundreds to thousands of phylogenetically informative, single-copy loci, which often leads to improved phylogenetic resolution at both shallow and deep taxonomic scales; however, a publicly accessible Rubiaceae-specific probe set that allows for comparable phylogenetic inference across clades is lacking.

Methods

Here, we use publicly accessible genomic resources to identify putatively single-copy nuclear loci for target enrichment in two Rubiaceae grou
