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 vs. UCEs, round 3

Posted on 18 Mar, 2016 by Ethan Linck

Though reduced-representation genome sequencing (or high-throughput, or nextgen, or massively parallel sequencing, or…) has become standard practice for molecular ecology labs over the past few years, the relative merits of different library preparation methods remains an active area of research. … Continue reading →
