Transcriptome-based exon capture enables highly cost-effective comparative genomic data collection at moderate evolutionary scales.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: To date, exon capture has largely been restricted to species with fully sequenced genomes, which has precluded its application to lineages that lack high quality genomic resources. We developed a novel strategy for designing array-based exon capture in chipmunks (Tamias) based on de novo transcriptome assemblies. We evaluated the performance of our approach across specimens from four chipmunk species....
