Phylotranscriptomic field and lab protocols and updates

Our untargeted phylotranscriptomic data analysis
workflow, with updated code on bitbucket.

Scripts for carrying out baited homology inference starting from one or more "baits" and searching genomes and/or transcriptomes to construct homologous gene trees. Scripts are written to perform the search either one at a time or 30,000 genes at a time. It takes the top hits per taxon, estimates alignments and trees, and resolves the tree topology. Therefore, it is much more robust to transcriptome datasets that contain isoforms and incomplete sequences.​
