Enrichment Probe Sets Combining Universal and Lineage‐Specific Targets Help Resolve Recalcitrant Lineages

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of target capture sequencing (TCS) with low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS), an approach known as Hyb‐Seq, has allowed the integration of natural history collections into the genomics revolution, transforming biodiversity research. To implement Hyb‐Seq, a collection of genomic targets is needed to design probes.
