Metabarcoding and Metagenomics @mbmg.pensoft.net · 03/06/2026
What's the impact of "molecular bycatch" in #eDNA metabarcoding? Researchers used an autonomous sampler in Hood Canal, WA and found that correcting for species-specific amplification bias reveals #ecological trends missed by raw read counts alone. Read the full article to learn more: #metabarcoding

Non-target detections change the interpretation of environmental DNA communities
Environmental DNA (eDNA) samples capture mixtures of DNA from a wide range of organisms and often yield metabarcoding datasets that include taxa beyond the intended scope of the primer set used. The p...

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

I wonder whether I can manage a #protistaday... Seems (probably too) ambitious. I am trying to share the little things that bring me joy. Today: look at this adorable #radiolarian wondering what it is doing touching a plastic dish rather than drifting in the open ocean. #protistsonsky
