| Abstract |
Advances in genomics have revolutionized many areas of research, providing new insights into the extraordinary biochemical diversity of life. The rapidly decreasing cost of DNA sequencing now enables unprecedented insights into biological diversity, species and ecosystem conservation, human and animal health, agriculture, food production, and biotechnology. However, environmental degradation and anthropogenic decimation of natural populations increasingly make biological collection more costly and less environmentally acceptable. Changing environmental regulations and complex permitting processes also complicate collecting practices and add to their cost. As a result, the rising cost and difficulty of sampling now frequently exceed sequencing costs as obstacles to biological research. |
