Phylogeny-driven target selection for large-scale genome-sequencing (and other) projects

Table 1. Phylogenetic diversity metrics for the leaves of the example tree in Figure 1.^†

Leaf	Height	bRPD	uRPD	# nodes
A	7.000	3.567	3.250	4
B	6.000	2.567	2.250	4
C	6.000	3.067	3.500	3
D	7.000	3.900	4.000	3
E	6.000	2.900	3.000	3
F	6.000	6.000	6.000	1

^†For each leaf, the distance to the root as obtained by adding up the lengths of all branches between the leaf and the root (“Height”), the balanced Relative Phylogenetic Diversity (“bRPD”), the unbalanced Relative Phylogenetic Diversity (“bRPD”) and the number of nodes between the leaf and the root (including the leaf; “# nodes”) are given.
