Abstract excerpt
Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) provide ideal candidates for targeted sequencing and cost-effective acquisition of genome-wide data. While UCEs have been widely used in phylogenetic studies to reconstruct evolutionary relationships, their use in population-level research has been limited. This limited application stems from uncertainty over whether UCEs can capture the levels of genetic variation needed to answer...
