Abstract
Natural history collections are unparalleled resources for studying biodiversity across multiple dimensions. As multi-omic tools are being applied to museum specimens, the emerging field of museomics is undergoing a rapid and exciting transformation, with new opportunities, challenges and confrontations with past legacies. In this Comment, the authors showcase how the emerging field of museomics — the application of multi-omic tools to natural history collections — is undergoing a rapid and exciting transformation, with new opportunities, challenges and confrontations with past legacies.
