Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) illuminate the population genomics of a recent, high-latitude avian speciation event

Using a large, consistent set of loci shared by descent (orthologous) to study relationships among taxa would revolutionize among-lineage comparisons of divergence and speciation processes. Ultraconserved elements (UCEs), highly conserved regions of the genome, offer such genomic markers. The utilit...
