Assessing the utility of whole genome amplified DNA for next-generation molecular ecology

February 2015 Authors: Christopher Blair, C. Ryan Campbell, and Anne D. Yoder Info: Scientists at Duke University explored whether whole-genome amplification leads to sequence bias by performing a ddRAD-seq study of grey mouse lemurs using multiple displacement amplification. They conclude … more »
