First nuclear genome assembly of an extinct moa species, the little bush moa ( <i>Anomalopteryx didiformis</i> )

2018-02-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4> A bstract </h4> High throughput sequencing (HTS) has revolutionized the field of ancient DNA (aDNA) by facilitating recovery of nuclear DNA for greater inference of evolutionary processes in extinct species than is possible from mitochondrial DNA alone. We used HTS to obtain ancient DNA from the little bush moa ( Anomalopteryx didiformis ), one of the iconic species of large, flightless birds that became...
