[Display omitted] •Many studies analyze higher-level relationships with many genes but few taxa (e.g. phylogenomic).•Alternately, other studies analyze many taxa but few genes (e.g. supermatrix).•Here, we demonstrate the potential to combine these two approaches, using published data from squamate r...
