Phylomarker is a collaborative project dedicated to developing
nuclear gene markers for phylogeny inference. The website acts
as a portal for the user to access resources available for the
project, include source code and candidate markers.
Visit the Bioinformatics Pipeline page for knowing the strategy
we employed. Read the README file available in the Source Code
page to have an idea of how to run the scripts that we provide.
If you are interested in fish phylogeny, we have generated a set
of candidate markers for you to test. Questions related to
bioinformatics, send email to glu3 at mail.unomaha.edu.
We have performed a case study on ray-finned fish to
demonstrate the feasibility of our approch. The results are
quite promising as shown in our BMC Evolutionary Biology paper. This website hosts
supplementary data and scripts included in the paper.
