The past decade has seen a major breakthrough in our ability to easily and inexpensively
sequence genome‐scale data from diverse lineages. The development of high‐throughput …

High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time-and cost-effective sequencing of
large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many …

Premise of the study: Using sequence data generated via target enrichment for
phylogenetics requires reassembly of high‐throughput sequence reads into loci, presenting …

With the decreasing cost and availability of many newly developed bioinformatics pipelines,
next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized plant systematics in recent years …

Speciation via hybridization and polyploidization is a major evolutionary force in plant
evolution but is still poorly understood for neopolyploid groups. Challenges are attributed to …

Classification of tribe Cardueae in natural subtribes has always been a challenge due to the
lack of support of some critical branches in previous phylogenies based on traditional …

Simple Summary Plant species complexes with hybridization and asexual reproduction
often exhibit complex morphological patterns, which is problematic for classifications. Here …

Hybridization is a frequent and important force in plant evolution. Next-generation
sequencing (NGS) methods offer new possibilities for clade resolution and ambitious …

Premise Large phylogenetic data sets have often been restricted to small numbers of loci
from GenBank, and a vetted sampling‐to‐sequencing phylogenomic protocol scaling to …

Using FrogCap, a recently-developed sequence-capture protocol, we obtained> 12,000
highly informative exons, introns, and ultraconserved elements (UCEs), which we used to …
