check genome assignments in Looney_2016

[roblanf]

Hi Rob,

I noticed that in Looney_2016 dataset the rpb1 and rpb2 genes are defined as chloroplast genome in the alignment.nex file

I’ve seen these loci in other datasets and they are always in the nuclear genome.

I checked the paper but the only sentence that mentions these two loci is not clear at all “Four loci were targeted for infrageneric clade‐level resolution including two nrDNA regions (nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU) and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and two single‐copy genes (rpb1 and rpb2, which encode the largest and second largest subunits of RNA polymerase II, respectively)”. However, the paper is all about fungi!

There is also a reference (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2004.11.014) in that paper that is addressing these two loci and defines them as nuclear genes.

Can you please check that

Best,

Suha
