Data from: Simultaneous radiation of bird and mammal lice following the K-Pg boundary

The diversification of parasite groups often occurs at the same time as the diversification of their hosts. However, most studies demonstrating this concordance only examine single host-parasite groups. Multiple diverse lineages of ectoparasitic lice occur across both birds and mammals. Here we describe the evolutionary history of lice based on analyses of 1,107 single copy orthologous genes from sequenced genomes of 46 species of lice. We identify three major diverse groups of lice: one exclusively on mammals, one almost exclusively on birds, and one on both birds and mammals. Each of these groups radiated just after the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, the time of the mass extinction event of the dinosaurs and rapid diversification of most of the modern lineages of birds and mammals.Supporting data for "Simultaneous radiation of bird and mammal lice following the K-Pg boundary"This zip file contains the supporting alignments and trees for the publication "Simultaneous radiation of bird and mammal lice following the K-Pg boundary" by Johnson, Kevin, Nguyen, Nam-phuong, Sweet, Andrew, Boyd, Bret, Warnow, Tandy, Allen, Julie. The files are: initial.fasta - The concatenated alignment of the 1st and 2nd codon positions of 1,107 single copy genes, grouped by the partitions from the GTR+alpha rate parameters. initial.partition - The partitions of the initial.fasta alignment. RAxML_bipartitions.RAXML.BOOTSTRAP - The RAxML tree estimated from the partitioned concatenated alignment, with bootstrap support. genes.zip - An archive containing the individual gene alignments used to create the concatenated alignment, where each folder is a gene, and the contents are: FNA2AA.fasta - The UPP alignment after translating AA coding sequences into nucleotides FNA2AA.no3rd.fasta - The UPP alignment after removing 3rd codon positions. astral/astral.tree - The ASTRAL tree estimated from the RAxML gene trees astral/raxml.ml.trees - The RAxML trees estimated from the individual gene alignmentsdata.zi
