Zusammenfassung
The genomes of many individuals can be assembled and analyzed using convenient and widely available computer programs running on every desktop or laptop computer. This rapid development has resulted in an entirely new sub-discipline of evolutionary biology called "phylogenomics," the integration of phylogenetic sequencing data and analyses imple
