A new #primer pair called #BeePrime, tackles a key gap in #pollinator #monitoring by reliably detecting #bee #DNA from flower samples. Tested in Austrian flower strips, it found 4x more bee species than standard primers, boosting both accuracy and efficiency. Read more⤵️ doi.org/10.3897/mbmg...
In silico analysis assessing primer-binding specificity. Results are shown separately for target taxa (bee genera, upper panel) and non-target taxa (other arthropod orders, lower panel). The figure displays the matching performance of the two newly developed primers, expressed as penalty scores (left: forward primer = BeePrimeF; right: reverse primer = BeePrimeR).
