𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: Another great example of off-grid science, this time in the fjords of Norway & a training course in Brazil. The international team field tested a fully portable, off-grid eDNA metabarcoding pipeline using Bento Lab & a @nanoporetech.com MinION sequencer.

New preprint out! Following two international courses in Brazil and Norway, we show that eDNA metabarcoding can be done fully on-site with portable tools, delivering fish and elasmobranch results in just days, even outside a traditional lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @jonready.bsky.social

Out now and led by the impeccable GJ Jeunen: a new way to squeeze #eDNA sequences from preserved natural samplers! NO need to damage the old specimens: just take out the DNA leached into the ethanol! Also: we have a new entry into the #nsDNA world: #bryozoa! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Just noticed that our paper is on the cover of Trends in Plant Science - that was unexpected 😅 The illustration is really cool 💙

Local genetic reference sequences can be essential for species specific studies. Applying what worked for a species elsewhere in the world (in this case largetooth sawfish, Pristis pristis) may not work where you are!!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We officially kicked-off eDNA-OPTIMA. In this project, we deploy samplers on a USV, improve detection of benthic invertebrates, aim to understand how eDNA is transported by ocean currents, etc. @vliznews.bsky.social @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social @naturalsciences-be.bsky.social @vlaio.bsky.social

I'm very proud to coordinate this project with this fantastic team. We will gain a lot of insights in how to optimize the use of eDNA for species detection in a complex coastal ecosystem.
