We have an open PhD position for a #deepsea #eDNA PhD at UWA with an absolute dream team of supervisors!

Closing genomics gaps to advance deep-sea biodiversity discovery

To move beyond this we can not just compare methods per se, but rather ask when is it better for other reasons like ethics (e.g., not lethal or causes less harm) or determine if the error does not change the action. Etc.

Thanks so much for posting this question. It shows an important assumption, which is what we do now or traditionally is the 'truth' to which any new methods are compared. What is true is ALL methods have error. Comparing apples to oranges will result in the conclusion that they are different.

DEVIENS CO-DÉTENTEUR DU RECORD DU MONDE CALVI-MONACO 2025 Du 14 au 30 juin 2025, Noam Yaron va tenter de nager de Calvi à Monaco en faveur de la Nature. Deviens co-détenteur de ce record du monde et soutiens les actions de cette campagne de sensibilisation h...

Noam Yaron is about to set the world record for longest swim ever for nature!! Watch here live for the track....he is close to his goal 180 km and has swam for 3 days and nights never getting out of the water!! The finish in the next hous! Go Noam!! 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️ www.calvi-monaco.com/en?fbclid=PA...

This is so great! Thank you for making this resource available!

Excited to see how the filters work!! Thank you for testing them. 🎉🤞

Congratulations 🎉

Creating, curating and evaluating a mitogenomic reference database to improve regional species identification using environmental DNA Species detection using eDNA is revolutionizing global capacity to monitor biodiversity. However, the lack of regional, vouchered, genomic sequence information—especially sequence information that in...

The failure to correctly identify species using #eDNA may be biological rather than methodological. Find out how mitogenomics sequences can address this challenge.

Can eDNA revolutionize biodiversity monitoring? - I by IMD Explore eDNA science with Kristy Deiner on the IMD Management Cast . Learn how genetics, biodiversity, and data analytics shape conservation and the bioeconomy.

What is nature vs biodiversity, how is #eDNA useful, and what is that corporate food chain that is waking up the risks posed by loss of #biodiversity? This podcast covers it all --> www.imd.org/ibyimd/podca...

Polls are not easy here, but curious if the #eDNA community can comment on what sequencing platform you use most for your metabarcoding work?

Great things started over ten years ago! So nice to see how far we've come!

#eDNA job alert!!

Well a new adventure is about to start! This week was my first as fulltime CEO at SimplexDNA. I am excited to have made the jump from academia to empower the use of #eDNA technology throughout the world.While lots of papers will come out from my ETH years, I say goodbye to the 'Professor' title

The MIEM guidelines: Minimum information for reporting of environmental metabarcoding data Environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding has become a popular tool for assessing biodiversity from environmental samples, but inconsistent documentation of methods, data and metadata make...

If you have ever been frustrated trying to find experimental or bioinformatic information for metabarcoding data, we propose a minimum set of information that should be included for all #eDNA publications: mbmg.pensoft.net/article/1286...

The first pre-print from Jake Jackman's PhD on #eDNA monitoring of the River Mersey, UK. We compare multiple filter types across a saline gradient (marine to freshwater) in a strongly tidal estuary. All filters generally work well, including the passive metaprobe! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The power of a global collaboration with over 500 people and cool tech transforming what we know about #biodiversity.

I can't hold it in any longer..the data is rolling in from the #LeDNA project and damn it is crazy good. This is the most diverse COI dataset I have ever seen! Over 72'000 ESVs from 382 lakes...the diversity is blowing my mind. And the AVITI sequencer is the new kid on the block ladies and gentlemen

This is an exciting hack!! Thank you for open sourceing this one!

We are recruiting for #PhD opportunity funded by NERC RedAlert CDT investigating novel ways to identify #salmonid diseases in #freshwater ecosystems using #eDNA - closing date 7th Jan, full details here: findaphd.com?pj=176410
