We used metagenomic sequencing of 40 bulk arthropod samples collected across Sweden to classify taxa and compare results with metabarcoding from the same samples. While metabarcoding was more sensiti...

Asked my fellow scientists if they had any props to lend to me for #ForskarFredag and I got so many cool things that I’ve had to move them around in a suitcase. Now back to planning the talks for around 250 students across Sweden! #ScienceCommunication #LånaEnForskare t.co/wIvsviy781

In the group led by @T_vd_Valk, we are developing a user-friendly pipeline and a series of databases that will allow researchers to disentangle these mixed data samples.
000
Samantha López Clinton (she/her) @sam-siwatlaali.bsky.social · 25/07/2023
The data obtained from shotgun sequencing of eDNA, however, will contain genetic information from many organisms and can pose a bioinformatic challenge to disentangle what sequences come from which species.

Samantha López Clinton (she/her) @sam-siwatlaali.bsky.social · 25/07/2023
#EnvironmentalDNA is genetic material that is shedded by organisms into the environment and it can provide us with a way of monitoring biodiversity without actually seeing or capturing the species present.
