Wolfe lab develops workflow that identifies genetic markers for phylogenetic study from limited data

Using MAKER2, Paul Blischak, Aaron Wenzel, and Andrea Wolfe have developed a workflow that identifies numerous genetic markers for phylogenetic study from limited genomic data. The approach, published in a recent issue of Applications in Plant Sciences, is exemplified using the flowering plant genus Penstemon (Plantaginaceae), whose phylogeny has been difficult to resolve due to its recent, rapid radiation.
