Abstract | PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Hyb-Seq, the combination of target enrichment and genome skimming allows simultaneous data collection for low-copy nuclear genes and high-copy genomic targets for plant systematics and evolution studies. METHODS AND RESULTS: Genome and transcriptome assemblies for milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) were utilized to design enrichment probes for 3385 exons from 768 genes (>1.6 Mbp) followed by Illumina sequencing of enriched libraries. Hyb-Seq of twelve individuals (ten Asclepias species and two related genera) resulted in at least partial assembly of 92.6% of exons and 99.7% of genes and an average assembly length >2 Mbp. Importantly, complete plastomes and nrDNA cistrons were assembled using off-target reads. Phylogenomic analyses demonstrated signal conflict between genomes. CONCLUSIONS: The Hyb-Seq approach enables targeted sequencing of thousands of low-copy nuclear exons and flanking regions, as well as genome skimming of high-copy repeats and organellar genomes, to efficiently produce genome-scale datasets for phylogenomics. |
