Background In the past decade, transcriptome data have become an important component
of many phylogenetic studies. They are a cost-effective source of protein-coding gene
sequences, and have helped projects grow from a few genes to hundreds or thousands of
genes. Phylogenetic studies now regularly include genes from newly sequenced
transcriptomes, as well as publicly available transcriptomes and genomes. Implementing
such a phylogenomic study, however, is computationally intensive, requires the ...
