The ongoing decline in pollinators and increasing concerns about pollination services require a better understanding of complex pollination networks, particularly their response to global climate ...

Against the accelerating pace of worldwide species extinction, reliable biodiversity assessments are critical, both as baselines and to track potential declines. DNA metabarcoding techniques allow for ...

Japan develops new ways of monitoring fish biodiversity and assemblage Researchers from Kyoto University, Ryukyu University, Kobe University, and the Natural History Museum and Institute of Chiba have ...

Metabarcoding diet analysis has become a valuable tool in animal ecology; however, co-amplified predator sequences are not generally used for anything other than to validate predator identity.

The following information was supplied regarding data availability: Scripts are available as Supplemental Files, and the metabarcoding pipeline is available at GitHub ...

All scripts, data, and metadata files for this section are hosted on the teaching cluster in the following file path: /work/mars8180/instructor_data/metabarcoding-16S ...

High-throughput DNA sequencing methods are revolutionizing our ability to census communities, but most analyses have focused on microbes. Using an environmental DNA sequencing approach based on ...

This repository contains the code for pre-processing metabarcoding data with OBITools v.1.2.12 on Brown's high-performance cluster (HPC), OSCAR via an RStudio Server. The code could be adapted to run ...

A new study demonstrates that DNA metabarcoding provides a promising new method for tracking human plant intake, suggesting that similar approaches could be used to characterize the animal and fungal ...
