How do Missing Data Impact Phylogenetic Inference with UCEs?

Posted on 19 Jul, 2016 by Bryan McLean

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has put gobs of sequence data in the hands of molecular biologists, and that data is measurably advancing our prospects for a fully resolved Tree of Life. Nearly simultaneously, however, we have realized that every NGS dataset … Continue reading →

RADseq and missing data: some considerations

Posted on 10 May, 2016 by Ethan Linck

Unlike Sanger sequencing, where loci are directly targeted for each individual and sequencing errors are relatively rare, massively multilocus datasets from next generation sequencing platforms are characterized by large amounts of missing data. This is particularly true for restriction digest … Continue reading →
