Although some tissues preserved in low quality
storage media did recover numbers of genes comparable
to high quality storage methods, low quality
media appears to be highly variable in its ability. To
corroborate this, further testing of high quality storage
media would be desirable as a result of the low
sample number in the present study. Sample storage
media for the tissues used in the present study are
also conflated with the date of specimen collection,
with older samples tending to be stored in poorer
quality media. Future work would ideally look at
capture success across a larger sample of older specimens
and more recent high quality media preserved
specimens
