An empirical assessment of a single family-wide hybrid capture locus set at multiple evolutionary timescales in Asteraceae.

ABSTRACT:

Premise

Hybrid capture with high-throughput sequencing (Hyb-Seq) is a powerful tool for evolutionary studies. The applicability of an Asteraceae family-specific Hyb-Seq probe set and the outcomes of different phylogenetic analyses are investigated here.

Methods

Hyb-Seq data from 112 Asteraceae samples were organized into groups at different taxonomic levels (tribe, genus, and species). For each group, data sets of non-paralogous loci were built and proportions of parsimony informative characters estimated. The impacts of analyzing alternative data sets, removing long branches, and type of analysis on tree resolution and inferred topologies were investigated in tribe Cichorieae.

Results

Alignments of the Asteraceae family-wide Hyb-Seq locus set were parsimony informati
