Abstract
Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provide great resources to study bird evolution and avian functional genomics. They also allow for the identification of suitable high-resolution markers for detailed analyses of the phylogeography of a species or the connectivity of migrating birds between breeding and wintering populations. This review discusses the application of DNA markers for the study of systematics and phylogeny, but also population genetics and phylogeography. Emphasis in this review is on the new methodology of NGS and its use to study avian genomics. The recent publication of the first phylogenomic tree of birds based on genome data of 48 bird taxa from 34 orders is presented in more detail.
