“…Novel methods were highlighted, including a new approach for visualizing microbial communities on marine plastic debris using specialized probes (Schlundt et al, 2019; Perspective by Arias‐Andres, 2020) and improved analyses of polyploids in landscape genomics (Meirmans, 2020; Perspective by Ackiss & Balao, 2020). A comparison of double‐digest RADseq de novo assembly software (LaCava et al., 2020; Perspective by Marrano et al., 2020) was published that assists researchers to navigate across available software programs. The genome assembly of the extinct‐in‐the‐wild scimitar‐horned oryx demonstrated the utility of genomes in conservation (Humble et al., 2020; Perspective by Latch, 2020).…”
