Abstract excerpt
The de-extinction of species using genome-editing approaches depends on acquiring high-quality genomic information from the extinct target. However, the degraded nature of the ancient DNA (aDNA) that is typical for most extinct species, poses significant challenges to achieving comprehensive genome reconstruction. A systematic evaluation of the minimum sequencing effort that is required to reliably map the genome...
