Project description:Rapid assessment of invasion front and ecological impact of the invasive fish Coreoperca herzi using quantitative eDNA metabarcoding
Project description:Modelling technical and biological biases in macroinvertebrate community assessment from bulk preservative using multiple metabarcoding markers
Project description:Monitoring microbial communities can aid in understanding the state of these habitats. Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques provide efficient and comprehensive monitoring by capturing broader diversity. Besides structural profiling, eDNA methods allow the study of functional profiles, encompassing the genes within the microbial community. In this study, three methodologies were compared for functional profiling of microbial communities in estuarine and coastal sites in the Bay of Biscay. The methodologies included inference from 16S metabarcoding data using Tax4Fun, GeoChip microarrays, and shotgun metagenomics.
