Genomic approaches to understanding population divergence and speciation in birds

摘要: ABSTRACT The widespread application of high-throughput sequencing in studying evolutionary processes and patterns diversification has led to many important discoveries. However, the barriers utilizing these technologies interpreting resulting data can be daunting for first-time users. We provide an overview a brief primer relevant methods (e.g., whole-genome sequencing, reduced-representation sequence-capture methods, RNA sequencing), as well steps analysis pipelines loci clustering, variant calling, transcriptome assembly). also review number applications which researchers have used address questions related avian systems. highlight how genomic tools are advancing research by discussing their contributions 3 facets history. focus on (1) general inferences about biogeography biogeographic history, (2) gene flow isolation upon seco...
