Estimating and mitigating amplification bias in qualitative and quantitative arthropod metabarcoding.
Henrik Krehenwinkel,Madeline Wolf,Jun Ying Lim,Andrew J. Rominger,Warren Brian Simison,Rosemary G. Gillespie +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of multilocus datasets of diverse arthropod communities to evaluate whether amplification bias can be countered by targeting loci with highly degenerate primers or conserved priming sites, increasing PCR template concentration, reducing PCR cycle number or avoiding locus specific amplification by directly sequencing genomic DNA.

TL;DR: Collecting biological specimens for scientific studies came under scrutiny when B. A. Minteer and colleagues suggested that this practice plays a significant role in species extinctions.
An Annotated Chromosome-Level Reference Genome of the Red-Eared Slider Turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans).
Warren Brian Simison,James F. Parham,James F. Parham,Theodore J. Papenfuss,Athena W. Lam,James B. Henderson +5 more
TL;DR: A high-quality, partially phased, and chromosome-level Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans, TSE) genome is presented as a reference for future research on turtle and tetrapod evolution.

TL;DR: This work develops microsatellite markers as a cost-efficient and simple alternative to SNP genotyping and presents a simple Illumina amplicon sequencing protocol to genotype microsatellites from multiplex PCR amplicons in the Hawaiian happy face spider T. grallator.
