Collections-based research in the genomic era

---

Biological collections are at the front line of biodiversity research, informing taxonomy, evolution, conservation
and sustainable livelihoods. In April 2014, we organised a meeting at the Linnean Society (UK) discussing the
impact of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods on collections-based research. Here, we explore the main
themes of this meeting and outline the incredible potential of NGS to reinvent collections-based research. Among
the many opportunities at the interface of genomics and collections, we focus specifically on (1) the genomic
characterisation of biological collections, (2) the enhancement and development of DNA-based identification, (3)
the tree of life and (4) interdisciplinary research addressing the most pressing environmental challenges of our
times. Across the world, biological collections are at risk, primarily due to declining funding and shifts in
scientific fashions. We encourage all users of collections to embrace the genomic era, not only because of the
unparalleled scientific potential that it presents, but also because new cross-disciplinary synergies will
reinvigorate and secure the collections for future generations.

KEYWORDS: museomics – next-generation sequencing – phylogenomics – phylogeny – taxonomy – tree of life.
