Abstract:Premise: In phylogenomic analyses, no consensus exists on whether using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or including flanking regions (full locus) is best, nor how strictly missing data should be filtered. Moreover, empirical evidence on whether SNP-only trees are suitable for downstream phylogenetic comparative methods such as divergence time estimation and ancestral state reconstructions is lacking. Methods: Using GBS data from 22 taxa of Glycine, we addressed the effects of SNP vs. locus usage and fi… Show more
