“…Within Cypriniformes, we selected a representative sampling of the major cyprinid lineages (Acheilognathinae, Alburninae, Cultrinae, Cyprininae, Danioninae, Leptobarbinae, Leuciscinae, Tincinae) and other cypriniform families (Balitoridae, Botiidae, Catostomidae, Cobitidae, Ellopostomatidae, Gyrinocheilidae, Nemacheilidae, Psilorhynchidae, and Vaillantellidae). These were chosen based on availability of sequences through GenBank, primarily published in Saitoh et al (2006) and Tang et al (2010). Outgroup taxa included additional ostariophysan diversity, with Chanos chanos serving as the root.…”
