A genomic probe set optimized for rodents was designed and successfully obtained alignments for 416 of the 418 target loci. The genomic data set performed well in phylogenetic analyses, especially in recent phylogenetic splits.
Rodents are the largest order of mammals and contain several model organisms important to scientific research in a variety of fields, yet no large set of genomic markers have been designed for this group to date, hindering evolutionary studies into relationships of the group as a whole. Here we present a genomic probe set designed and optimized for rodents with a protocol that is easy to replicate with little laboratory investment. This design utilizes an anchored hybrid enrichment approach specifically targeting rodents to generate longer loci with a higher substitution rate than existing vertebrate probes to provide utility at various taxonomic levels. Using a test set of rodents from all five suborders, we successfully obtained alignments for 416 of the 418 target loci with an average of 1379 bp per locus and a total alignment of more than half a million base pairs. This genomic data set performed well in all phylogenetic analyses, especially in recent phylogenetic splits, with ample parsimony-informative sites within genera and even within species, showing more than four times as many single nucleotide polymorphisms per locus than a recent vertebrate ultraconserved elements study. Additional support is provided in resolving deeper clades in Rodentia. By providing this probe design, we hope that more laboratories can easily generate data for answering questions in rodents from species delimitation to understanding relationships among families in rapid radiations.
