His team ended up with
nuclear genome samples from only three mummies, each from a different time period.

The study has solid geographical
sampling, and the team's statistical analysis of two DNA
genomes — mitochondrial and
nuclear — shows pretty good evidence for the new species, says Bryan Stuart, a curator of herpetology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, who was not involved in the work.
However, since plant tissues harbor three separate
genomes (
nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondrial), it can often be challenging to isolate the particular
genome of interest from extracted DNA
samples.
Genetic studies using
samples along the distribution range of both subspecies and based on a few dozen
nuclear markers have revealed loci of relatively high divergence (0.3 — 1.2 %) between subspecies embedded in a
genome otherwise characterized by low levels of differentiation and high levels of bidirectional gene flow [21], [24]--[26], likely facilitated by high effective population sizes, high dispersal, and a relatively short generation time [21], [24]--[26].
We first used in - solution capture method to enrich the DNA library for human mitochondrial DNA fragments5, 23 to screen for
samples with sufficient quality for
nuclear genome SNP genotyping.
