ABSTRACT
Phylogenetic analysis has entered the genomics (multilocus) era. For less experienced researchers, conquering the large number of software programs required for a multilocus-based phylogenetic reconstruction can be somewhat daunting and time-consuming. PhyloSuite, a software with a user-friendly GUI, was designed to make this process more accessible by integrating multiple software programs needed for multilocus and single-gene phylogenies and further streamlining the whole process. In this protocol, we aim to explain how to conduct each step of the phylogenetic pipeline and tree-based analyses in PhyloSuite. We also present a new version of PhyloSuite (v1.2.3), wherein we fixed some bugs, made some optimizations, and introduced some new functions, including a number of tree-based analyses, such as signal-to-noise calculation, saturation analysis, spurious species identification, and etc. The step-by-step protocol includes background information (i.e., what the step does), reasons (i.e., why do the step), and operations (i.e., how to do it). This protocol will help researchers quick-start their way through the multilocus phylogenetic analysis, especially those interested in conducting organelle-based analyses.
