🚀 Excited to share our new paper:
“Navigating Past Oceans: Comparing #Metabarcoding and #Metagenomics of Marine Ancient Sediment eDNA”

DOI: doi.org/10.1111/1755...

We dive into 8,000 years of marine life from Skagerrak sediments to show what different tools tell us about past #oceans! 🌊🧬
Navigating Past Oceans: Comparing Metabarcoding and Metagenomics of Marine Ancient Sediment Environmental DNA
The condition of ancient marine ecosystems provides context for contemporary biodiversity changes in human-impacted oceans. Sequencing sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) is an emerging method for gene...

How, What, and Where You Sample Environmental DNA Affects Diversity Estimates and Species Detection
This study evaluates the impact of two eDNA capture methods—grab samples and tow nets—on species detection and diversity assessment in various aquatic environments in Minnesota, Florida, and Switzerl...

Last year, biologists and hydrologists met at #eDNA4Hydro workshop in Bern, Switzerland to learn from each other and explore the intersection of our fields via eDNA. What we found was a new flow path (1/n) wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
A new flow path: eDNA connecting hydrology and biology
Genetic material collected in environments such as water is known as environmental DNA (eDNA) and is revolutionizing biodiversity assessment. However, eDNA also has untapped potential to solve hydrol....
