UCE identification flowchart. (A) Phylogenetic trees of 95 mammals (left) and 94 birds (right). The trees were constructed by IQ-TREE (Nguyen et al. 2015) using fourfold degenerate sites and the maximum likelihood method. Different branches are shown in different colors, and the names of the species whose genomes were used to reconstruct ancestral genomes are shown in red. (B) Pipeline for identifying mammalian UCEs (mUCEs) and avian UCEs (aUCEs).
