Types and genomes - Solving a conflict in frequently hybridizing taxa of Veronica

环境物种一直受到不同特征的可用性的影响，以研究它们。基因组分析正在以前所未有的方式进行。在频繁杂交的物种中，如婆婆纳，一个可能的结果是模式标本可能是杂交种，可能会破坏这些物种的分类。在这个项目中，我们将调查类型和基因组学之间的冲突的几个方面，通过分析模式材料和现存的植物，从典型的地方使用基因组学和形态学。我们的目的是评估的可能性，以达到一个稳定的系统，反映传统的分类学和遗传特性的几个名称婆婆纳subg。来自欧洲的伪石蒜属。该项目的新方面包括使用古老的DNA方法从植物标本中提取DNA，包括全基因组扩增，评估Hyb-Seq和微流控PCR扩增子测序作为降解DNA的有前途的高通量测序方法，以及形态计量分析，包括大量类型的轮廓分析。

Species circumscriptions have always been influenced by the availability of different characters to study them. Genomic analyses are doing so in a hitherto unprecedented way. In species with frequent hybridization, such as Veronica spicata, a possible result is that type specimens may be hybrids, potentially destabilizing the taxonomy of these species. In this project, we will investigate several aspects of the conflict between types and genomics by analyzing type material and extant plants from type localities using genomics and morphology. Our aim is to evaluate possibilities to reach a stable system reflecting traditional taxonomy and genetic identity for several names in Veronica subg. Pseudolysimachium from Europe. Novel aspects of the project comprise the use of ancient DNA methods to DNA extraction from herbarium specimens including whole genome amplification, the evaluation of Hyb-Seq and microfluidic PCR amplicon sequencing as promising high throughput-sequencing methods for degraded DNA and the morphometric analysis including outline analysis for a large number of types.
