Includes all sequence data for the novel 40 loci sequenced by Smith et al. in a nexus format. Charsets identifying each locus, and within loci, intron and flanking exon regions are provided. Taxsets indicating what species are missing for each gene region are also provided. For the 30 EPIC loci, flanking exons were excluded from analyses, since there was typically only short exon regions for each locus (or no exon). For the EPIC loci, exons are designated as exon1 and exon2. If only exon1 is indicated, then there was only flanking exon on one side of the intron. If exon1 and exon2 are identified, exon1 is at the 5' end and exon2 is at the 3' end. The partitioned ML tree (shown in Fig. 2) and BUCKy poulation tree (Fig. 3) are provided at the end. The data provided here are also included in the total evidence file "Total Evidence Alignment Plus Trees". The total evidence file includes additional species that were not sequenced for these 40 loci, so this file is more convenient if the focus is on the 10 species targeted for this study.
