  1. Pleased to see this published (and open access) - I’ve been contributing to this #ForestResearch / #HuttonInstitute led project for over 5 years (with most of the co-authors even longer):

    Green et al (2025) The prevalence of Phytophthora in British plant nurseries; high-risk hosts and substrates and opportunities to implement best practice doi.org/10.1111/ppa.14044

  2. Announcing the release of version 4.14.1 of the PR2 database of 18S eukaryotic reference sequences.

    The database itself is unchanged, but we now provide a web interface:

    app.pr2-database.org

    More information: pr2database.github.io/pr2datab

    #protists #metabarcoding #database #18S

  3. Announcing the release of version 2.0 of metaPR2, database of 18S eukaryotic metabarcodes

    shiny.metapr2.org/metapr2/

    Major changes are listed here: pr2database.github.io/metapr2-

    * Addition of 18 new datasets
    * Use of clustered metabarcodes (ASVs)
    * New panel listing taxonomy of metabarcodes
    * Barplots now include samples where taxa are absent

    Please report any issue here: matrix.to/#/#pr2-database:matr

  4. Happy to have contributed, w Thorsten Stoeck,
    @ionferrico and others, to this paper by Leontidou et al where we describe our results from trying out a new type of commercial assay for #metabarcoding #microbial communities of several #16S hypervariable regions at once. Do check it out.

  5. 🦠 Interested in #nextflow & anything 'meta-' ?(#metagenomics, #metabarcoding, #metatranscriptomics, #metaproteomics, #microbes #MicrobialEcology & more!)

    📆 Join us next Tuesday 13:00 CEST (3rd September) for an nf-core #bytesize for the #metaomics #nfcore special interest group! (Also on YouTube after!)

    🤝 We will introduce how we want the community to work together with #users and #bioinformatics developers to make the best pipelines for anything 'meta-'

  6. If this all-singing-all-dancing new PCR machine works as well is it sounds omicsomics.blogspot.com/2024/0 (blog post from @OmicsOmics) it would be amazing for a bunch of stuff including #metabarcoding #amplicon sequencings where #eDNA and other samples are often at different concentrations.

  7. Hi all, curious if anyone has run into this kind of issue before? We're quantifying our #amplicon #PCR reactions for #Metabarcoding using PicoGreen prior to normalisation, but we're sometimes getting high concentrations despite no band being visible on a gel. For ITS it’s only at 61 ng/ul that there’s a 50/50 chance of seeing a band. Any idea what might be going on?
