Unrecognised DNA Degradation in Flash‐Frozen Genetic Samples in Natural History Collections Optimal preservation of tissues from the field to long-term cryo-storage is paramount to securing genetic resources for research needs. DNA preservation techniques vary, with flash freezing currently... https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.14121
