Going Mobile: Using Portable Genomic Technologies for PCR-Free In Situ Species Identification and Real-Time Molecular Systematics. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHere, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.
