Next generation systematics / edited by Peter D. Olson, Natural History Museum, London, Joseph Hughes, University of Glasgow, James A. Cotton, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge.

"We live in an age of ubiquitous genomics. Next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, both widely adopted today and advancing at pace, has transformed today's data landscape, opening up an enormous source of heritable characters to the comparative biologist. Its impact on systematics, like many ot...
