#metabarcoding — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #metabarcoding, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Took a while, but my largest ever upload of data to the #ENA / #SRA is live, nearly 4000 #metabarcoding amplicon sequencing runs using a #Phytophthora ITS1 marker: ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJ

    Managing sequencing #metadata is hard!

  2. 🦠 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-'

  3. 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.

  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. Just published: "Marine invasive alien species in Europe: 9 years after the #IAS Regulation"

    Proud to contribute to the #eDNA part of this review on #BioMonitoring of #marine #invasive #alien species in Europe, as part of the #GES4SEAS project. Have a look, esp. if you wondered how many #NIS species for which sequence vouchers exist for #DNA #barcoding or #metabarcoding

  6. #Freshwater #mussels, many of which are of #conservation #concern, are a great target for #environmental #DNA (#eDNA) detection to guide #management #tactics and #strategies.

    But as the authors of this new paper point out: "Confidence in our ability to identify eDNA #metabarcoding reads relies on a #curated, #accurate #database."

    Use of eDNA methods various purposes is going to mean a lot of work with #specimens and databases in coming years.

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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?
