Long-read sequencing and genome assembly of natural history collection samples and challenging specimens

Long-read sequencing and genome assembly of natural history collection samples and challenging specimens

Abstract Museum collections harbor millions of samples, largely unutilized for long-read sequencing. Here, we use ethanol-preserved samples containing kilobase-sized DNA to show that amplification-free protocols can yield contiguous genome assemblies. Additionally, using a modified amplification-bas...
