Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) for phylogenomics

[V. V. Robin @vvrobin]

Excited to share: @ultraconserved #UCE phylogenomic data on the #endangered Forest Owlet - Athene seems OK for now 😀
Great collaboration with @ShomitaMukherj1 R Jayapal from @SACONCoimbatore & led by @bird_biochemist and @MeghanaNatesh
Thanks, @moefcc @serbonline for funding

Wondered if the #endangered Forest Owlet is Genus Athene/Heteroglaux? @bird_biochemist @MeghanaNatesh &collaborators from @SACONCoimbatore & WRCS settle (?) this with 5000 loci #Genomics @ultraconserved data

One less ant subfamily. @GabiCamacho, @rsmfeitosa et al. explore the phylogeny and classification of ectaheteromorph ants using UCE data and sink Heteroponerinae. Fabulous research led by a fabulous myrmecologist. @EntsocAmerica @ultraconserved https://t.co/VwPRbxzua5

New paper with @LonginoJack on the phylogeography and taxonomy of New World Cryptopone using ultraconserved elements. We used UCEs to redefine the genus, delimit species, and explore a temperate-tropical disjunction. @ultraconserved @EntsocAmerica https://t.co/qOXuQEfA8v

@pete_cowman @_jokhan @Jeremyhorowitz3 @FedEx @CITES Ouch. Hopefully, @FedEx can put tracer out on package and locate…

There is also an "official" docker image, now, if you are into that sort of thing.

At long last, phyluce 1.7 is out. Upgraded for Python 3.6, new installation approach, all dependencies are pinned, etc. Lots of changes and small fixes.

Our new paper, accepted & online! We sequence #UCEs from 150+ year old ethanol-preserved museum specimens. And you can too! DM if you need access. With @ggiribet @tarantuligia

We @marshalhedin have a new paper out using #uce data to study endangered Texas cave #spiders. Check it out.

@DMNSHelpDesk Ubuntu 17.10 should be fine (but, technically, not yet supported). For requirements, what you propose sounds good. We use Supermicro SuperServers with comparable specs (usually dual Xeon CPU, 12-20 cores, ≥ 64 GB RAM).

@afrittspenniman We use Kapa, but NEB also fine. We also usually use 1/2 reactions.
