Sequence matrix and tree files for Spatial phylogenetics of the native California flora (Thornhill et al. BMC Biology)

This is the DNA sequence alignment for the 1083 OTUs used
in Thornhill et al. 2017.  We defined
monophyletic OTUs at the finest scale possible given data
availability and current understanding
of the evolutionary relationships of Californian plant
lineages. Using all 5258 species described in The Jepson
eFlora (http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/) as a
starting point, a thorough literature search was undertaken to
find molecular phylogenetic studies that had included
California taxa. Genera were split into finer level OTUs if
robust evidence existed for monophyly of subclades and
representative DNA data either were available in
GenBank or could be generated within the scope of the
project. Genera were lumped in a few cases if
recent evidence showed that one is nested in another. In total,
1083 OTUs were defined to include the 5258 binomials (Table S2
 in Thornhill et al. 2017 details the OTU to which each binomial
was assigned).
