Fantastic few days attending my first #UKDNAWG24 I’ve finally found my people 🧬What a brilliant community to be a part of, such great presentations, discussions, learning & networking. Looking forward to attending next year already. 🧬🍀🐑🐝🐠🦌💦🦦 #DNA #eDNA #metabarcoding

Time to say farewell to @TillMacher A big THANK YOU for 9️⃣ wonderful & scientifically very creative & productive years @unidue - with focus on #eDNA #metabarcoding Enjoy the new endeavors @TrierUni in the #KrehenwinkelLab & always welcome here. #Biodiversity #Monitoring

Another interesting use of DNA for understand ecology! Testing and optimizing #metabarcoding of iDNA from dung beetles to sample mammals in the hyperdiverse Neotropics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Just got back after a fantastic 2 days at the #UKDNAWG24 conference where I presented my PhD research - using Oxford Nanopore Flongles for #DNA barcoding and #eDNA #metabarcoding. What a wonderful community, excited for next year already!

Last but not least, Carla Perez Mon discussing tracing falsified medicines using #eDNA #metabarcoding. Can eDNA link medicines and identify species to inform about geolocation? initial data suggests that we can 👍🏻 #UKDAWG24

🥳🐝Our paper on #wildbee nutrition and distribution in #urban ecosystems was within the top cited articles in @JAppliedEcology 🐝🐝🏙️ 👉 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… #cities #urbanecology #bees #metabarcoding

🔍 The broader application of #metabarcoding faces a hurdle: the availability of high-quality reference sequences. Complete genetic databases are vital for accurate species-level identification, highlighting the need for curated and comprehensive reference sequence databases.

Buzzing after a great poster session. So nice to have so much interest in my project looking at #DNA #metabarcoding of #grasslands under different management regimes, some really useful discussions and great contacts made to follow up on 👍 🧬🍀🐑⛰️ #UKDNAWG24

OTU table with a size of 500 MB. That's what you get when you sequence 2367 samples with 2 technical replicates and 3.961.941.788 reads.. This is getting out of control. 🤯🧨 #NovaSeqXPlus #upscaling #metabarcoding

So many fascinating talks kicking off the #UKDNAWG24 conference. Absolutely loving all these #DNA #eDNA #metabarcoding presentations, and great to catch up with some familiar faces🧑‍🔬🤩🧬

Fab keynote by Rosemary Gillespie on #metabarcoding data matching biogeographical theory, exemplified by Hawaiian Islands with natural age gradient. DNA data gives info on ecological communities, function and resilience. Involving local communities key to restoration #UKDNAWG24

Stunning keynote by ⁦@Berkeley_Evolab⁩ - from the visionary #vonHumboldt to #metabarcoding, #island ecology, #invasion #competition. Wow: #volcanic! #UKDNAWG24

Nice talk by @ClareCowgill on terrestrial rewilding with #eDNA #Metabarcoding and where we’re at. Important to consider sample substrate based on multiple factors. Terrestrial sampling methods should complement and not stand alone.

@ClareCowgill sums up current applications of #eDNA #metabarcoding for #rewilding. Disparity between sample types and habitat under consideration. Not all sample types are equal… choose wisely and ideally use multiple! More comparisons and functional assessment needed #UKDNAWG24

And now we dive into #rewilding of terrestrial habitats with @ClareCowgill: how can #eDNA #metabarcoding help? #UKDNAWG24

Nice talk by @ChrisMAHirst using #metabarcoding to look at roe deer diet and microbiome. Seasonal variation in diet and microbiome becoming more similar in winter with more fibre-degrading bacteria to aid digestion. Modelling could identify landscape influence #UKDNAWG24

Martin recently presented at the 52nd Annual Benthic Ecology Meeting 🌊 His poster was titled #Metabarcoding Analysis Revealed Contrasting Predation Effects on Marine Benthic Invertebrate Communities in Panama and Santa Barbara, California 🧬 #BEM24

I'm really looking forward to presenting my #research tomorrow at the @StirBES @StirlingScience #PhD symposium, titled: "#Mycorrhizal cliffhanger! Exploring the #fungi co-occurring with #montane #willow scrub in Scotland using #eDNA #metabarcoding" 🤗💪🍄🌿 #Corrour
