Using nuclear gene data for plant phylogenetics: Progress and prospects (Reprinted from Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution vol 65, pg 774-785, 2012)

The paper reviews the current state of low and single copy nuclear markers that have been applied successfully in plant phylogenetics to date, and discusses case studies highlighting the potential of massively parallel high throughput or next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches for molecular phylogenetic and evolutionary investigations. The current state, prospects and challenges of specific single- or low-copy plant nuclear markers as well as phylogenomic case studies are presented and evaluated. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Inc.
