Description

We report short-read Illumina sequencing of 35 Arabidopsis thaliana herbarium specimens collected in Southern Germany from 1817 to 1957. The historical genomes were sequenced to an average depth of ~7X. The herbarium-derived sequences showed patterns of degradation typical of ancient DNA with average read lengths of 78 bp, endogenous DNA content between 26%-93% (mean 72%; median 74%) and enrichment of cytosine to thymine substitutions at the read’s termini. We provide the sequences to the public with open access.
