Orchid Phylotranscriptomics: The Prospects of Repurposing Multi-Tissue Transcriptomes for Phylogenetic Analysis and Beyond.

ABSTRACT: The Orchidaceae is rivaled only by the Asteraceae as the largest plant family, with the estimated number of species exceeding 25,000 and encompassing more than 700 genera. To gain insights into the mechanisms driving species diversity across both global and local scales, well-supported phylogenies targeting different taxonomic groups and/or geographical regions will be crucial. High-throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the field of molecular phylogenetics by simplifying the process of obtaining genome-scale sequence data. Consequently, there has been an explosive growth of such data in public repositories. Here we took advantage of this unprecedented access to transcriptome data from predominantly non-phylogenetic studies to assess if it can be repurposed to gain rapid an
