Retrieval of long DNA reads from herbarium specimens [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2023 Abstract High-throughput sequencing of herbarium specimens’ DNA with short-read platforms has helped explore many biological questions. Here, for the first time, we investigate the potential of using herbarium specimens as a resource for long-read DNA sequencing technologies.

Utilizing herbarium specimens to quantify historical mycorrhizal communities [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2019 Premise of the StudyMycorrhiza are critical to ecosystem functioning, but a lack of historical baseline data limits our understanding of the long‐term belowground effects of global change. Herbarium specimens may provide this needed insight. However, it is unknown whether DNA of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be reliably extracted from vascular
