Figure 1 from: Chakrabarty P, Warren M, Page L (2013) GenSeq: An updated nomenclature and ranking for genetic sequences from type and non-type sources. ZooKeys 346: 29-41. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.346.5753
Figure 1 - Example of how the GenSeq ranking system of sequences from various sources (Table 1) can be used to assess the trustworthiness of data used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships. The rankings (the # in the "genseq-#") make it clear that the relationship recovered between Species 3 and Species 4, from primary and secondary types, should be trustworthy because the taxonomic identifications of the voucher specimens are considered to be highly reliable. In contrast, the recovered sister relationship between Species 1 and Species 2 may be less trustworthy because of the weak reliability rankings of these sequences from non-types. Species 1 lacks both a specimen or photo voucher and therefore does not have a GenSeq ranking.
