High Phylogenetic Utility of an Ultraconserved Element Probe Set Designed for Arachnida

James Starrett, Shahan Derkarabetian, Marshal Hedin, Robert W Bryson, John E McCormack, Brant C Faircloth

The paper presents a set of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) for arachnid phylogenetic studies, showing they produce a highly resolved tree consistent with transcriptome-based phylogenies.

Sequence capture of ultraconserved elements from bird museum specimens

John McCormack, Whitney L.E. Tsai, Brant C Faircloth

This study evaluates the effectiveness of sequence capture of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) in retrieving genetic data from old bird museum specimens, finding that contamination is more common in older samples and that SNP calling within UCEs improves phylogenetic accuracy.
