Caption

The covers of Applications in Plant Sciences (left) and the American Journal of Botany (right) for the companion special issues "Exploring Angiosperms353: A Universal Toolkit for Flowering Plant Phylogenomics." The APPS cover features a heatmap, a bioinformatic application routinely used to visually inspect the success of target sequence capture. The color-coded strings on the AJB cover represent an Incan quipu, which consists of a main cord (i.e., phylogenetic backbone) from which multiple other strings hang in a nested fashion (i.e., tree branches). For more information, see the special issue front matter information.
