Phylogenomics of pigeons and doves
Pigeons and doves (Columbiformes) are a diverse group of birds occurring throughout the world.  The backbone phylogeny of this group has not been well resolved with prior datasets.  One of the major goals of this project is to construct a large (>6,000 gene) dataset from genome sequences of around 30% of the diversity of this group, including most of the genera to reconstruct a well resolved phylogenetic tree.
