Evolution of Castanea in North America: restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing and ecological modeling reveal a history of radiation, range shifts, and disease.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE: Although chestnuts and chinquapins are some of the best known and most widely loved of any plants in North America, relatively little genomic sequencing has been done, and much is still unknown about their evolution. METHODS: We used double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing data to infer the species-level phylogeny for Castanea and assess the phylogeography of the North American...
