Katie Brasell's new manuscript is out looking how sediment storeage affects the DNA yield and biological community and its implications for paleogenomic studies doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6… via MBMG Journal

The Lakes380 team have been looking at the distribution patterns of planktonic bacteria across New Zealand's lakes. Read about it in Frontiers - Microbiology at doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.… #bacterioplankton #lakes #scicomm #bacteria #ecology #metabarcoding #science

#Metabarcoding study from New Zealand points to significant potential loss of #DNA yield and changes in the #microbial community composition in lake surface sediments as a result of long-term chilled storage. 🔓See: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6… #sedDNA #eDNA
