PHYLOPYR: reconstructing the phylogeny of Pyrenean angiosperms

Abstract

Phylogenomic diversity is a necessary and powerful tool to understand ecological and evolutionary processes. Unfortunately, still there is a long way to produce complete and detailed phylogenies of many territories, with the limitations that this implies for ecological research. The PHYLOPYR project aims to sequence the DNA of Pyrenean angiosperms, in order to reconstruct a phylogeny and unravel the phylogenetic diversity of the mountain chain.
