Data from: Phylogenomic analyses of Sabal (Arecaceae) species relationships using targeted sequence capture

With the increasing availability of high-throughput sequencing, phylogenetic analyses are no longer constrained by the limited availability of a few loci. Here, we describe a sequence capture methodology, which we used to collect data for analyses of diversification within Sabal (Arecaceae), a palm genus native to the south-eastern USA, Caribbean, Bermuda and Central America. RNA probes were developed and used to enrich DNA samples for putatively low copy nuclear genes and the plastomes for all Sabal species and two outgroup species. Sequence data were generated on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer... Mehr ...
