• Beyond DNA barcoding: The unrealized potential of genome skim data in sample identification 

      Bohmann, Kristine; Mirarab, Siavash; Bafna, Vineet; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Genetic tools are increasingly used to identify and discriminate between species. One key transition in this process was the recognition of the potential of the ca 658bp fragment of the organelle cytochrome c oxidase I ...
    • Skmer: assembly-free and alignment-free sample identification using genome skims 

      Sarmashghi, Shahab; Bohmann, Kristine; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Bafna, Vineet; Mirarab, Siavash (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The ability to inexpensively describe taxonomic diversity is critical in this era of rapid climate and biodiversity changes. The recent genome-skimming approach extends current barcoding practices beyond short markers by ...
