Would an RRS by any other name sound as RAD

摘要: Sampling markers throughout a genome with restriction enzymes emerged in the 2000s as reduced representation shotgun sequencing (RRS). Rapid advances technology have since spurred modifications of RRS, giving rise to many derivatives unique names, such RADseq. But naming conventions often been more creative than consistent, unclear criteria for recognition method resulting proliferation names characterized by ambiguity. We conducted literature review assess methodological and etymological relationships among 36 enzyme-based methods, well rates correct referencing commonly-used methods. identify several instances convergence or misattribution literature, note that published modified only minor elements parent protocols. urge greater restraint derivative strike better balance between clarity, scientific innovation, attribution.
