PyRAD

PyRAD is a pipeline for de novo assembly of restriction-site-associated genomic markers for phylogenetic analysis across disparate taxa. It uses a wrapper around an alignment-clustering algorithm that allows for indel variation within and between samples, and incomplete overlap among reads. PyRAD outperforms the program Stacks in analyzing simulated RADseq datasets that include indel variation, and recovers more shared loci across disparate taxa.
