    The case of an arctic wild ass highlights the utility of ancient DNA for validating problematic identifications in museum collections

    Alisa O. Vershinina, Joshua D. Kapp, Gennady F. Baryshnikov, Beth Shapiro Molecular Ecology Resources | December 23, 2019   Abstract Museum collections are essential for reconstructing and understanding past biodiversity. Many museum specimens are, however, challenging to identify. Museum samples may be incomplete, have an unusual morphology, or represent juvenile individuals, all of which complicate accurate…

  • Highly Multiplexed Single-Cell Full-Length cDNA Sequencing of human immune cells with 10X Genomics and R2C2

    Roger Volden,  Christopher Vollmers bioRxiv | January 11, 2020 Abstract Single cell transcriptome analysis elucidates facets of cell biology that have been previously out of reach. However, the high-throughput analysis of thousands of single cell transcriptomes has been limited by sample preparation and sequencing technology. High-throughput single cell analysis today is facilitated by protocols like the 10X Genomics platform…

    Off Earth Identification of Bacterial Populations Using 16S rDNA Nanopore Sequencing

    Article | MDPI | 9 January 2020 Aaron S. Burton, Sarah E. Stahl, Kristen K. John, Miten Jain, Sissel Juul, Daniel J. Turner, Eoghan D. Harrington, David Stoddart, Benedict Paten, Mark Akeson, and Sarah L. Castro-Wallace  Abstract The MinION sequencer has made in situ sequencing feasible in remote locations. Following our initial demonstration of its high performance off planet with Earth-prepared samples, we developed and tested an end-to-end,…
