Abstract:Despite recent advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies,
a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases may limit the
potential for DNA-based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and
biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a
compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for DNA
database development yet obtaining DNA barcodes from long-stored
specimens may be difficult due to sample degradation. We demonstrate a
sensitive and efficient la… Show more
