The pipeline's workflow begins with the essential step of quality assessment. All incoming raw sequencing read files (typically in .fastq format) are first processed by FastQC. This tool generates ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) research is transforming biomonitoring at a global scale, but applicability to reptiles has been restricted because of their presumed low shedding rate. Consequently, eDNA may ...
Different strains of the same prokaryotic species often show significant variation in gene content. Whether this variation is due to genetic drift or selection is not well understood. If the latter, ...
Taxonomic identification of biological materials can be achieved through DNA barcoding, where an unknown "barcode" sequence is compared to a reference database. In many disciplines, obtaining accurate ...
We compared the performance of two commonly used genotyping platforms, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and single nucleotide polymorphism-arrays (SNP), to investigate the extent and pattern of genetic ...
