Description:
The introduction of massively parallel sequencing in the mid-2000s has truly revolutionized the field of molecular phylogenetics and ultimately our understanding of the tree of life. Despite today's existence of long-read sequencing and hybrid strategies—with the ability to produce high-quality, near-chromosome-level assemblies—monetary costs, sampling restrictions, and other practical considerations still favors next-generation sequencing (NGS) in many instances. To this date, most large-scale phylogenetic or "phylogenomic" studies were conducted using a "genome reduction" strategy such as...
