Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a transformative approach in the assessment of biodiversity. By extracting DNA directly from complex environmental samples—such as water, soil, or ...

Researchers found that DNA metabarcoding is an effective tool for detection of a broad range of biodiversity in water samples compared to traditional morphological identification methods. The ability ...

Healthy freshwater ecosystems are crucial for supporting wildlife and supplying humans with necessities like food, water, energy, and transportation. Despite this, there is a remarkable lack of data ...

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 ...

Locations of 59 lakes sampled for sedimentary DNA analysis, overlaid on a vegetation map of the Tibetan Plateau. Ⅰ, needleleaf forest; Ⅱ, needleleaf and broadleaf mixed forest; Ⅲ, broadleaf forest; Ⅳ, ...

A new study has shown that DNA metabarcoding serves as a powerful new tool for monitoring humans’ intake of plants, which could help researchers understand more about what we eat and how it affects ...

Metabarcoding & Metagenomics (MBMG) has been approved for inclusion in Clarivate’s Web of Science, one of the most renowned citation databases that indexes the world’s leading scholarly journals. This ...

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 ...

A Curtin University study has revealed that a new method of capturing DNA could provide farmers with a valuable tool for boosting crop production—while also benefiting the environment. Researchers ...

With eDNA metabarcoding, researchers read DNA traces from soil, water, or even air as if they were barcodes. This allows them to discover which plants are or were present, even when they are invisible ...
