The Effects of Herbarium Specimen Characteristics on Short-Read NGS Sequencing Success in Nearly 8000 Specimens: Old, Degraded Samples Have Lower DNA Yields but Consistent Sequencing Success [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Phylogenetic datasets are now commonly generated using short-read sequencing technologies unhampered by degraded DNA, such as that often extracted from herbarium specimens.

Performant barcode decoding for herbarium specimen images using vector‐assisted region proposals (VARP) [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2021 Premise The scale and associated costs of herbarium digitization make process automation appealing. One such process for many workflows is the association of specimen image files with barcode values stored with the specimen.

Multi-locus study of Colletotrichum humuli from an ancient herbarium specimen and description of C. humulicola sp. nov. from Humulus scandens [PDF]
Scientific ReportsColletotrichum humuli was originally described from diseased leaves of Humulus lupulus collected in 1890. Due to the absence of molecular data, an isotype specimen was examined to clarify its systematic position. The nuclear ribosomal ITS2 region of this
