The weeks have ticked away as we continue to operate on a telework only basis at the Smithsonian. This has given me some time to get back to working on projects initiated during my PhD, and do a lot of writing. I feel as though I'm now adjusted to teleworking, and trying to make as much progress as possible while I have a lot of forced computer time. Stella Yuan, Eric Malekos and myself submitted the first paper of two from the flying squirrel research carried out by Stella at HSU. Our methods paper details how museum specimens perform during microsatellite PCR, and calculate the rates of allelic dropout when using next generation sequencing platforms to genotype microsatellites. Want more? Feel free to read and add comments to our preprint on Authorea: Stella Yuan, Eric Malekos, Melissa Hawkins. Assessing the levels of microsatellite allelic dropout in museum specimens using high-throughput sequencing and genotyping by synthesis. Authorea. May 27, 2020.
Below is a sneak peak into our quality results from tissue, and high and low quality museum specimens.
I hope that everyone out there is staying safe and healthy in these trying times.
