Historical plant embryos as alternative sources of ancient DNA for whole genome sequencing

Hong Phuong Le, Stefano Porrelli, Yoon Kyung Lee, Simon Juraver, Flora Pennec, Mark Nesbitt, Koji Numaguchi, Rafal Marek Gutaker

The paper isolates DNA from seed embryos of historical plant specimens to improve ancient DNA quality for whole genome sequencing, finding embryos provide better DNA preservation than leaves in some species.
