Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Identifying PCR primers to facilitate molecular phylogenetics in Caddisflies (Trichoptera) (2015), Zoological Systematics. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Process and analyze sequences
   Sequencing reactions were analyzed on an Applied Biosystems 3730xl automated sequencer. Sequences were edited in Sequencher 5.1 software before being aligned in CLUSTAL W. Sequence alignments were converted to NEXUS format and analyzed phylogenetically using maximum likelihood with HKY model in PAUP* 4.0b8/4.0a78.
   Quantities: Individual gene sequences and combined datasets analyzedDuration: Standard sequencing and analysis protocolsConditions: Laboratory sequencing and computational analysis conditions
