Is GBS sequencing for phylogenetics effective on herbarium specimens?

There seems to be a requirement for high quality DNA. But if run with herbarium specimens maybe sequence capture and assembly are poorer relatively but adequate for phylogenetics with a reduced...

How do you align DNA sequences for phylogenetic work? What is the order of events and what software do you use?

I anticipate having to align sequences from hundreds of loci for more than 100 taxa. What is the most efficient way to go about this? I usually use muscle (or clustal), then manual alignment in...
