These data obtained from the peer-reviewed literature and a public database depict the geographic expansion of the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) and human cases of Lyme disease in the midwestern U.S. <b><i>Note</b></i>: There was an omission from the first version (V1) of the data set that required us to update the data. Specifically, we failed to include the data from the article "Caporale DA, Johnson CM, Millard BJ. 2005 Presence of Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest, Wisconsin, and characterization of strain W97F51. J. Med. Entomol. 42, 457–472". In the second version (V2) of the data, this omission is corrected.

This repository includes scripts and datasets for Chapter 6 of my PhD dissertation, " Supertree-like methods for genome-scale species tree estimation," that had not been published previously. This chapter is based on the article: Molloy, E.K. and Warnow, T. "FastMulRFS: Fast and accurate species tree estimation under generic gene duplication and loss models." Bioinformatics, In press. https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa444. The results presented in my PhD dissertation differ from those in the Bioinformatics article, because I re-estimated species trees using FastMulRF and MulRF on the same datasets in the original repository (https://doi.org/10.13012/B2IDB-5721322_V1). To re-estimate species trees, (1) a seed was specified when running MulRF, and (2) a different script (specifically preprocess_multrees_v3.py from https://github.com/ekmolloy/fastmulrfs/releases/tag/v1.2.0) was used for preprocessing gene trees (which were then given as input to MulRF and FastMulRFS). Note that this preprocessing script is a re-implementation of the original algorithm for improved speed (a bug fix also was implemented). Finally, it was brought to my attention that the simulation in the Bioinformatics article differs from prior studies, because I scaled the species tree by 10 generations per year (instead of 0.9 years per generation, which is ~1.1 generations per year). I re-simulated datasets (true-trees-with-one-gen-per-year-psize-10000000.tar.gz and true-trees-with-one-gen-per-year-psize-50000000.tar.gz) using 0.9 years per generation to quantify the impact of this parameter change (see my PhD dissertation or the supplementary materials of Bioinformatics article for discussion).

This repository contains the datasets and corresponding results for the paper "MAGUS: Multiple Sequence Alignment using Graph Clustering". The Datasets.zip archive contains the ROSE, balibase, Gutell, and RNASim datasets used in our experiments. The Results.zip archive contains the outputs of running our methods against these datasets. Datasets used: ROSE: 10 simulated nucleotide model conditions from the SATe paper, each with 20 replicates, and with 1000 sequences per replicate. The ROSE datasets were originally taken from <a href="https://sites.google.com/eng.ucsd.edu/datasets/alignment/sate-i">https://sites.google.com/eng.ucsd.edu/datasets/alignment/sate-i</a> RNASim: This is a collection of simulated nucleotide datasets that were generated under a model of evolution that reflects selection due to RNA structural constraints. We sampled 20 subsets of 1000 sequences each, as well as 10 subsets of 10000 each, by randomly sampling from the original million-sequence RNASim dataset. Gutell: 16S.M, 16S.3, 16S.T, 16S.B.ALL: Four biological nucleotide datasets from the Comparative Ribosomal Website (CRW) with cleaned reference alignments from SATe. Since PASTA is restricted to datasets without sequence length heterogeneity, these were modified to remove sequences that deviate by more than 20% from the median length. The scrubbed datasets range from 740 to 24,246 sequences. The pre-screened 16S datasets were taken from <a href="https://sites.google.com/eng.ucsd.edu/datasets/alignment/16s23s">https://sites.google.com/eng.ucsd.edu/datasets/alignment/16s23s</a> BAliBASE: We use eight BAliBASE amino acid datasets used in the PASTA paper. As above, we remove outlier sequences, which leaves us with sizes ranging from 195 to 732 sequences.

Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) data from 643 Miscanthus accessions from a diversity panel, including 613 Miscanthus sacchariflorus, three M. sinensis, and 27 M. xgiganteus. DNA was digested with PstI and MspI, and single-end Illumina sequencing was performed adjacent to the PstI site. Variant and genotype calling was performed with TASSEL-GBSv2, using the Miscanthus sinensis v7.1 reference genome from Phytozome 12 (https://phytozome.jgi.doe.gov). Additional ploidy-aware genotype calling was performed by polyRAD v1.1.
