BEAST MCC tree Rhamnaceae Onstein et al

For details also see Onstein et al. 2015 Evolution DOI: 10.1111/evo.12605. BEAST MCC tree based on sequence data for species of Rhamnaceae and outgroup taxa collected from GenBank (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) (513 accessions) and generated by ourselves (379 accessions), for six chloroplast markers (matK gene 1593 base pairs (bp), trnL-F genes and intergenic spacer 1232 bp, rbcL gene 1425 bp, psbA gene and psbA-trnH intergenic spacer 775 bp, ndhF gene 2163 bp, rpl16 gene and intron 1344 bp) and one nuclear marker (ITS gene 952 bp).
The best fit model for the chloroplast and ITS markers were identified with the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) implemented in PartitionFinder v 1.0.1, as follows: GTR + G + I for the linked chloroplast markers, and SYM + G + I for the ITS marker. We used the uncorrelated lognormal relaxed clock and a yule tree prior available in BEAST v.1.7.5. The MCC tree is based on the 10250 subsampled trees.
