By applying the anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE) genome partitioning strategy to Aristolochia using an Keywords: universal angiosperm probe set, we obtained 231–233 out of 517 single or low copy nuclear loci origi- Enrichment strategy nally contained in the enrichment kit, resulting in a total alignment length of 154,756 bp to Next generation sequencing Phylogenomics 160,150 bp. Since Aristolochia (Piperales; magnoliids) is distantly related to any angiosperm species Polyploidy whose genome has been used for the plant AHE probe design (Amborella trichopoda being the closest), Short internodes it serves as a proof of universality for this probe set. Aristolochia comprises approximately 500 species Recent diversification grouped in several clades (OTUs), whose relationships to each other are partially unknown. Previous phy- Universal nuclear probe set logenetic studies have shown that these lineages branched deep in time and in quick succession, seen as short-deep internodes. Short-shallow internodes are also characteristic of some Aristolochia lineages such as Aristolochia subsection Pentandrae, a clade of presumably recent diversification. This subsection is here included to test the performance of AHE at species level. Filtering and subsampling loci using the phylo- genetic informativeness method resolves several recalcitrant phylogenetic relationships within Aristolochia. By assuming different ploidy levels during bioinformatics processing of raw data, first hints are obtained that polyploidization contributed to the evolution of Aristolochia. Phylogenetic results are discussed in the light of current systematics and morphology. Ó 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

In this approach selected loci are enriched with the help of enrichment probes, oligonucleotide sequences of ca. 60– 120 bp that hybridize to moderately conserved target regions and deep internodes where lineages split early in quick succession, (compared to ultraconserved elements), followed by sequencing and second, shallow level nodes at the species level (Townsend and of the enriched target regions, and more variable flanking regions, Leuenberger, 2011).
