High-throughput sequencing is revolutionizing research in plant evolutionary biology. Using third-generation sequencing technologies, researchers are able to target long fragments of chloroplast DNA to improve genome assembly. Researchers have developed a new method to capture and sequence long DNA fragments in plants, which promises to significantly improve assembly of plastid genomes and advance biodiversity research.
