Introduction

This repository contains all of the code and analyses associated with a phylogenetic analysis of siphonophores. This work is presented in the following paper:

Code

The repository includes a number of files needed to recreate these analyses. Sequences will need to be downloaded from the SRA numbers listed in supplementary_info/ (Supplementary_data_1_Specimen_data.csv) or from public databases (JGI, NCBI-EST etc). The respository also includes the following folders:

• agalma/ Code used to build the data matrix with Agalma v 1.0.0 & also downstream phylogenetic analyses. It also includes a folder SRA/ that includes all of the information needed to modify the raw SRA files of some species for use in the analysis

• character_coding/ Character coding files for the species considered in this manuscript

• sowh/ Code used to carry out the SOWH tests

• manuscript.rmd Source code for the manuscript itself

• manuscript.pdf The formatted manuscript

Taxon names

There have been updates on taxon names since the publication of the manuscript.

• The species listed as Nanomia bijuga Paciific is Nanomia septata, Mapstone, Mańko, Martell, Haddock & Hosia in Hosia et al., 2024
