Alignment files

This .rar file contains all the alignments used to create Table 1, including 51 alignments in total. The files are organized in sub-folders firstly by taxonomic group: sub-order Charadrii, suborder Scolopaci, or shorebirds (which includes Charadrii, Scolopaci and Lari). Within taxonomic group files are organized by locus: Mt exon, RAG1 exon, beta-fib intron 7, and beta-fib intron 7 gap data. Note that the first three are sequence alignments but the last is a coding of the gaps in beta-fib intron 7. Within each of these folders are alignments for each of the methods: clustal, mafft, muscle, sate and t-coffee.
