Brooding Phylogenomics: Target-Capture Probe Sets for the Analysis of Ultraconserved Elements in the Peracarida.

ABSTRACT: Sequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity of research on such groups. Here, we describe generalised probe sets targeting ultraconserved elements (UCEs) for members of the crustacean orders Amphipoda and Isopoda in the superorder Peracarida. These sets employ ~10,000-100,000 probes targeting up to 10,000 loci. In silico analyses of these probe sets recovered an average of 5087 loci, while an average of 4633 was retained post-filtering. Phylogenetic analysis of these datasets resulted in well-supported trees that align with previously reconstructed relationships among the taxa selected while al
