Massively parallel DNA sequencing offers many benefits, but major inhibitory cost factors
include:(1) start-up (ie, purchasing initial reagents and equipment);(2) buyin (ie, getting the …

Degraded DNA from suboptimal field sampling is common in molecular ecology. However, its
impact on techniques that use restriction site associated next‐generation DNA sequencing …

Molecular ecologists seek to genotype hundreds to thousands of loci from hundreds to
thousands of individuals at minimal cost per sample. Current methods, such as restriction‐site‐…

Molecular ecologists frequently use genome reduction strategies that rely upon restriction
enzyme digestion of genomic DNA to sample consistent portions of the genome from many …

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) offers many benefits, but major factors limiting NGS
include reducing the time and costs associated with: 1) start-up (ie, doing NGS for the first …

Contaminants such as heavy metals may contribute to the dissemination of antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) by enriching resistance gene determinants via co‐selection mechanisms. In …

Most of the research efforts involving the bovine gastrointestinal microbiota have focused on
cattle’s forestomach, particularly the rumen, so information concerning the bovine fecal …

The rapid diversification of Myotis bats into more than 100 species is one of the most
extensive mammalian radiations available for study. Efforts to understand relationships within …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of amplicons is used in a wide variety of contexts. In
many cases, NGS amplicon sequencing remains overly expensive and inflexible, with library …

Triatominae are the largest radiation of haematophagous species within the true bugs (Hemiptera)
and the sole vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas, the causative agent of Chagas …
