ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,
