abstract:
The effects of the genomic revolution are beginning to be felt in all disciplines of the biological
sciences. Evolutionary biology in general, and phylogenetic systematics in particular, are
being revolutionized by these advances. The advent of rapid nucleotide sequencing techniques
have provided phylogenetic biologists with the tools required to quickly and efficiently
generate large amounts of character information. We use family Drosophilidae as a model
system to study phylogenetics and genome evolution by combining high throughput
sequencing methods from the field genomics and standard phylogenetic methodology. This
paper presents preliminary results from this work. Separate data partitions, based on either
gene function or linkage group, are compared to a combined analysis of all the data to assess
support on phylogenetic trees.
