Interessant: DNA #Metabarcoding liefert Hinweise auf reihenweise unplausible DNA Spuren in #Honig. Vieles spricht dafür, dass nicht drinnen ist was drauf steht. Die Analysen der zwei Labore sehen valide/reliabel aus. Hier sollte genauer hingeschaut werden tinyurl.com/r9mcwv48

Gute Neuigkeiten für die Ruhr-Universität Bochum TU Dortmund Uni Duisburg-Essen @unidue.bsky.social zum Jahresende: der Landtag NRW Staatskanzlei NRW hat die Finanzierung der #ResearchAllianceRuhr gesichert. Wir freuen uns darüber sehr😊Mehr: uaruhr.de/nachrichtendet…

We're hiring two bioinformatics-focused PhD students - one on microbial & epigenetic stress response in rivers, another on virus-host stress response in rivers! 🧬🦠💻 @RESIST_CRC @zwu_ude Uni Duisburg-Essen @unidue.bsky.social Please RT & spread the word - the @ProbstLab awaits you! 🦸

🎉 First PhD paper of@wolany_lisa comes with good news for #metabarcoding-based #biodiversity monitoring: Homogenized vs „mild lysed“ #insect samples provide highly similar results. We prefer homogenization as it is better scalable, cheaper & identifies slightly more species.

This study of epiphytic diatoms in Iraq shows that a combination of metabarcoding and microscopy can increase the detection and identification of diatom species: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8… #metabarcoding #diatoms #biodiversity Freie Universität Uni of Gothenburg

In this study, researchers find that homogenisation of insect bulk samples yields more comprehensive and cost-efficient biodiversity data than non-destructive lysis. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8… #metabarcoding

Struggling with inhibitors in your DNA extract? 🚫🧬 Our latest protocol (developed at Florian Leese) safely removes inhibitors, ensuring successful amplification every time! Check it out here protocols.io : protocols.io/view/inhibitor… 🔬✨ #DNAExtraction #lowbudget

🚨new paper alert! 🚨Inter-laboratory #RingTest for #eDNA extraction protocols: implications for #cetacean and #shark detection using three novel #qPCR assays doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9… via MBMG Journal Lauren Rodriguez eWHALE

Together with @SeDNASociety, we're committed to promoting the development of #eDNA research. This is why we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with them. We will partner through our @MBMGJournal, including special eDNA issues and collections, and a discount for SeDNA members.

Join our session this spring at #EGU25! You have 48 hours to pull together an abstract about your latest research bringing #biology in #hydrology with guest speaker Anish Kirtane . Tell us about your work with #eDNA #Carbon and #diatoms for hydrological process understanding!

🦈 Do different labs get the same #eDNA results? eWHALE (#BiodivProtect) found differences in detection success, with sharks less often detected. This highlights the need for standardized protocols for reliable biodiversity assessments. doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9…

📣Call for session proposals - #LivingData2025 🐦 Living Data 2025 is a joint conference jointly hosted by GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif, TDWG, @obisnetwork and ‌GEO BON at the Instituto Humboldt from 21-24 October in #Colombia.

Congratulations to Dr Katy Klymus, winner of the Metabarcoding and Metagenomics Editors' Choice Award 2024! mbmg.pensoft.net/news/774

🧬 DNA metabarcoding of diatoms is ready for biomonitoring, but varying protocols hinder comparability. @DNAquaIMG (#BiodivMon) shows successful protocol transfer across labs, proposing a strategy ensuring distinct protocols meet minimum standards. doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9…
