The Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (@POGO_Ocean) was founded as a forum to promote and advance the observation of the global ocean. POGO has offered support to the development of different projects, including #eDNA. Read more: #Ocean

Though #eDNA applications are geographically biased efforts are being made worldwide. #Colombia is an example of it through @invemarcolombia hosting the first mobile environmental DNA laboratory BANDERA. More initiatives like this are needed #DNA #ADN #latinamerica #Science

#eDNA tech offers new hope for monitoring macroinvertebrates in rivers, especially as pollution and habitat loss threaten biodiversity. Take a look at this study in China, revealing similar ecological trends to traditional water quality indices #Water

"Managers and researchers should ensure that the eDNA chosen protocol meets certain minimum standards required for their research question or monitoring goal and can, therefore, be maintained for longer timeframes" 🔗 #Protocols #Standards #Science

Aquatic #eDNA efforts tend to be directed into fishes as the main group of interest. But holistic biodiversity assessments need a targeted promotion of the research into less tested, but often more biodiverse bioindicator groups. 🔗 #Biodiversity

' #eDNA and its application on freshwater💦 "A remaining challenge for broad implementation... into legislative frameworks will be the need of standardization among methods, reliable abundance estimations & incorporation of demographic parameters..."

@USGS is developing the READI-Net project which focuses on the development and application of autonomous DNA samplers & #eDNA for the early detection of aquatic invasive species. Do you want to know further about it? 📰 🎧

🥽Take a swim into this paper focusing on #eDNA sample storage, extraction, and template volume and its effects on eDNA detectability. 🔗 #Science #Research #DNA #Biodiversity

Take a look at this review on environmental nucleic acids (eNAs), it highlights the imbalance on geographical application and the lack of standardisation across the studies, accompanied by an incompleteness of reference sequence databases. 🔗 #eDNA

False positive detections are a common issue with #eDNA-based biomonitoring. Potential causes can be contamination with wastewater & anthropogenic DNA, contamination during laboratory processing and sequencing, & false taxonomic assignments, etc. 🔗

🏙️Global urbanization alters natural habitats, this study used eDNA to monitor pan-vertebrate biodiversity (aquatic & terrestrial) through #eDNA in Beijing. Read more! 🔗 #Urban #City #Biodiversity #DNA #Science #Beijing #China

🦠🥒This study used #eDNA for detecting the existance of plakton in the Lower Ciliwung River, Jakarta, Indonesia. Read more about the results: #Water #River #Asia #Plankton #DNA

eDNA results are constrained by the existing databases, their accuracy and completeness influence the analysis of results from the application of eDNA technologies. #eDNAquaPlan aims to address this challenge. Learn more! 🔗 #eDNA #DNA #Biodiversity

This review highlights the quantification & presentation of the relibaility of #eDNA results is a pivotal challenge that the development of eDNA technology must address. What are yout thoughts? 🔗 #Science #Tech #Innovation

🌏This review focuses on East Asia aquatic invasive species and the application of #eDNA for its detection. If you are interested in reading about the analysis follow this link! 🔗 #Science #Asia #Biodiversity
