Unlocking the genomes of formalin‐fixed freshwater fish specimens: An assessment of factors influencing DNA extraction quantity and quality

Erin E. Brino,
David A. Schumann,
Calvin R. Rezac
et al.

Abstract: Recent technological developments may facilitate the description of evolutionary relationships and population genetic structure, and other information relevant to fisheries management using readily available natural history collections. Contemporary sequence capture and short‐read sequencing methods offer opportunities to analyze highly‐fragmented DNA from formalin‐fixed specimens, so long as enough sufficient‐quality DNA is recovered. We compared two protocols developed to extract DNA from formalin‐fixed tiss… Show more

“…The unique body form and life-history diversity of lampreys commonly require modifications of standard techniques developed for bony fishes (e.g., Moser et al 2007;Dawson et al 2015;Lampman et al 2021), and the development and testing of new methods has contributed to the increase in lamprey publications since the early 2000s (Figure 1). Papers in this issue report on critical conservation needs, including methods evaluating phylogenetic standing (Brino et al 2023, this special section) and estimating lamprey size and age (Pelekai et al 2023, this special section). Litts et al (2023, this special section) and Spanos et al (2023, this special section) describe and evaluate collection and tagging approaches for field studies of adult lampreys.…”

“…By adopting protocols that mitigate formalin-induced alteration, such as the use of heat and alkali treatments to break protein–DNA cross-linkages caused by formalin exposure ( Hykin et al. 2015 ; Brino et al. 2023 ), researchers now routinely recover genomic information from specimens that were once considered too degraded or altered for genetic analysis ( Zimmermann et al.…”
