Integration of ultra-low coverage whole-genome sequences for reconstructing the evolutionary history of Galapagos giant tortoises

Abstract

Genomic data from contemporary samples often require to be complemented with those from museum specimens for evolutionary reconstructions of multitaxon complexes. However, the genetic material recovered from historical samples may be available only as ultra-low coverage whole-genome sequences (ulcWGS;
