Are we ready to use long-read metabarcoding for analysis of nematode communities? If you are interested, read our paper in Soil Biology & Biochemistry: https://t.co/wEX6y97CNO

For anyone interested in DNA barcoding or metabarcoding nematodes, here’s a new forward degenerate primer for CO1/COX1 barcoding that has increased species recovery and superior amplification compared to three commonly used nematode CO1 primer sets, by Ren et al. (2024). 👇 Ren

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring https://t.co/VMdLY6FCMX #eDNA #Metabarcoding

For aquatic eDNA enthusiasts, here’s an interesting and useful review of the last 10 years in the field by Takahashi et al. (2023), covering 407 articles and including 522 single-species primers and 141 metabarcoding primers. This could be a good article to read if you want:

🌍 Project Highlight – BIOSCAN African Parks In collaboration with African Parks, BIOSCAN is working to document insect diversity across Africa using a metabarcoding approach on bulk insect samples collected through passive Malaise traps. 🌐 Learn more: https://t.co/VgTp4ik75z

New Research: eDNA metabarcoding for qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment of phytoplankton towards eco-sustainable mariculture in the Mediterranean Sea https://t.co/ClFcVSMS18 #FrontiersIn #MarineScience

Ended morning session with @Llewelyn68 from @JamesHuttonInst speak on #eDNA metabarcoding to explore microbial diversity & use as a diagnostic tool for plant biosecurity, shared newly published bioinformatic pipeline and urges the use of appropriate controls! #SFG111

🔬 Exciting new resource for #protists lovers! 🌍🧬🦠 We are obsessed with trying to get the unknown lineages closely related to animals. Very obsessed! So, we created the eKOI database to expand the power of metabarcoding to COI, with a special focus on protists & integrated in

CORAL infers the occurrence of rare species based on common species, using DNA metabarcoding data and biodiversity data. https://t.co/lcvmzhGcZQ

Take a look at the smiling faces from last week's barcoding and metabarcoding course! Training was led by CBG staff members Dr. Ken Thompson and Dr. Robin Floyd and was hosted at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM). 📷 Photo by Karyn Soto

Metabarcoding can take a panoramic view of biodiversity from complex DNA samples and accurately inform us about individual species. In our latest blog ( https://t.co/ywiDPCICTW), learn how Nattanon Meeprom, Ph.D., surmounted sample challenges to accelerate data collection as part

New short communication! 📄 Drinkwater, @WaspWoman et al. used DNA metabarcoding to analyze the gut contents of 554 wasp larvae, revealing their diverse diet and their role as predators 🐝 🔗 https://t.co/HV9GuVDPd7 #SocialInsects #WaspEcology #NativeEcosystems #Vespula

My first first-author publication is out now in Environmental DNA! The first portion of my MS project focused on comparing sampling methodology for eDNA metabarcoding for reptiles and amphibians in wetlands. 🧬 🐸
