| Abstract: | Background Molecular evolutionary studies share the common goal of elucidating historical relationships, and the common challenge of
adequately sampling taxa and characters. Particularly at low taxonomic levels, recent divergence, rapid radiations, and conservative
genome evolution yield limited sequence variation, and dense taxon sampling is often desirable. Recent advances in massively
parallel sequencing make it possible to rapidly obtain large amounts of sequence data, and multiplexing makes extensive sampling
of megabase sequences feasible. Is it possible to efficiently apply massively parallel sequencing to increase phylogenetic
resolution at low taxonomic levels? |
