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.

A highly contiguous, scaffold-level nuclear genome assembly for the Fever tree (Cinchona pubescens Vahl) as a novel resource for research in the Rubiaceae

Nataly Allasi Canales, Oscar Alejandro Pérez-Escobar, Robyn Faye Powell, Mats Töpel, Catherine Anne Kidner, Mark Nesbitt, Carla Maldonado, Christopher J. Barnes, Nina Rønsted, Natalia A. S. Przelomska, Ilia J. Leitch, Alexandre Antonelli

The paper presents the first highly contiguous nuclear and organelle genome assemblies for C. pubescens, enabling research on alkaloid biosynthesis and evolutionary relationships within the Rubiaceae family.

Museomic approaches to genotype historic Cinchona barks

Nataly Allasi Canales, Elliot M. Gardner, Tobias Gress, Kim Walker, Vanessa C. Bieker, Michael D. Martin, Mark Nesbitt, Alexandre Antonelli, Nina Rønsted, Christopher J. Barnes

The paper compares two high-throughput sequencing methods for genotyping degraded Cinchona barks and finds that a target capture kit provides more comprehensive data than genome skimming.
