🧬 DNA metabarcoding of diatoms is ready for biomonitoring, but varying protocols hinder comparability. @DNAquaIMG (#BiodivMon) shows successful protocol transfer across labs, proposing a strategy ensuring distinct protocols meet minimum standards. doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9…

🦈 Do different labs get the same #eDNA results? @ewhale_dna (#BiodivProtect) found differences in detection success, with sharks less often detected. This highlights the need for standardized protocols for reliable biodiversity assessments. doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9…

Together with @SeDNASociety, we're committed to promoting the development of #eDNA research. This is why we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with them. We will partner through our @MBMGjournal, including special eDNA issues and collections, and a discount for SeDNA members.

In this study, researchers find that homogenisation of insect bulk samples yields more comprehensive and cost-efficient biodiversity data than non-destructive lysis. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8… #metabarcoding

🎉 First PhD paper of@wolany_lisa comes with good news for #metabarcoding-based #biodiversity monitoring: Homogenized vs „mild lysed“ #insect samples provide highly similar results. We prefer homogenization as it is better scalable, cheaper & identifies slightly more species.

Interessant: DNA #Metabarcoding liefert Hinweise auf reihenweise unplausible DNA Spuren in #Honig. Vieles spricht dafür, dass nicht drinnen ist was drauf steht. Die Analysen der zwei Labore sehen valide/reliabel aus. Hier sollte genauer hingeschaut werden tinyurl.com/r9mcwv48
