Premise We developed a target enrichment panel for phylogenomic studies of Dioscorea, an economically important genus with incompletely resolved relationships. Methods Our bait panel comprises 260 low‐ to single‐copy nuclear genes targeted to work in Dioscorea, assessed here using a preliminary taxo...
