Astragalean819: An Astragalean clade-specific bait set to resolve phylogenetic relationships in <i>Astragalus</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Premise

Astragalus (Fabaceae) is the largest genus of flowering plants, with about 3100 species. Most phylogenies of the genus are based on a few nuclear or plastid loci (with one exception that uses ~100 loci) and usually provide poorly resolved trees and even conflicting subgeneric classifications. Target enrichment can greatly improve phylogenetic resolution, even at recently diverged taxonomic units, by generating sequences for hundreds of phylogenetically informative, putative single-copy loci. However, a specific bait set for the Astragalean clade is still lacking.

Methods

In this study, we use transcriptome data from 17 species in the Astragalean clade (of which eight are Astragalus) to identify putative single-copy nuclear loci to build a bait set for t
