TL;DR: 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 data sets for phylogenomics.

TL;DR: This work describes the first large-scale supernetwork for the Brassiccaeae built from gene trees for 5 loci (adh, chs, matK, trnL-F, and ITS) and reports multiple independent origins for trnF pseudogenes in crucifers.

TL;DR: BrassiBase as discussed by the authors is a continuously developing and growing knowledge database (http://brassibase.cos.uni-heidelberg.de) that aims at providing direct access to many different types of information ranging from taxonomy and systematics to phylo- and cytogenetics.

TL;DR: This work reviews the application of several non-coding nuclear DNA marker systems for phylogenetic reconstructions and summarizes valuable information for future research.

TL;DR: The dramatic climatic changes during glaciation and deglaciation cycles promoted not only secondary contact and formation of the allopolyploid hybrid A. kamchatica, but also provided the environment that allowed this species to fill a large geographic gap separating the two genetically different A. lyrata lineages from Eurasia and North America.
