Fluidigm2PURC: automated processing and haplotype inference for double-barcoded PCR amplicons
Premise of the study: Targeted enrichment strategies for phylogenomic inference are a time- and cost-efficient way to collect DNA sequence data for large numbers of individuals at multiple, independent loci. Automated and reproducible processing of these data is a crucial step for researchers conducting phylogenetic studies. Methods and Results: We present Fluidigm2PURC, an open source Python utility for processing paired-end Illumina data from double-barcoded PCR amplicons.
Scent matters: differential contribution of scent to insect response in flowers with insect vs. wind pollination traits
AbstractBackground and Aims. Growing experimental evidence that floral scent is a key contributor to pollinator attraction supports its investigation as a comp
