<h4>Background</h4>The world's herbaria contain millions of specimens, collected and named by thousands of researchers, over hundreds of years. However, this treasure has remained largely inaccessible to genetic studies, because of both generally limited success of DNA extraction and the challenges associated with PCR-amplifying highly degraded DNA. In today's next-generation sequencing world, opportunities and prospects for historical DNA have changed dramatically, as most NGS methods are actua ...[more]
