A transcriptomic approach for reduced representation in population genomics

Posted on 6 Apr, 2015 by Melissa DeBiasse

                    Many population genomics studies use methods that provide a reduced representation of the genome, for example RADseq or UCEs. Targeting a subset of the genome reduces the cost of sequencing … Continue reading →
