I have a need to assign dispersed individuals back to a clutch of eggs. I have many samples from each clutch of eggs. Rather than conducting a sibship analysis between the eggs and the dispersed adults, would it be possible to homogenize a batch of eggs and sequence them as one sample that approximates the parental genomes and then conduct a parentage analysis to assign individuals back to their clutch?

Sounds like a reasonable approach to me. The clutch presumably has paternal and maternal alleles, while a single individual will have half of the alleles present in the clutch, but I think the relationship would be clear unless the different clutches are highly similar.Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.comComment

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
