Polls are not easy here, but curious if the #eDNA community can comment on what sequencing platform you use most for your metabarcoding work?
Well a new adventure is about to start! This week was my first as fulltime CEO at SimplexDNA. I am excited to have made the jump from academia to empower the use of #eDNA technology throughout the world.While lots of papers will come out from my ETH years, I say goodbye to the 'Professor' title

💯 fab work @marinednadude.bsky.social + team on minimim reporting for #metabarcoding. At Natural England, we’re building on this to create a readiness framework for #metabarcoding assays, and mobilising DNA data with partners. All key to ⬆️ useability + reliability of DNA data! 💪🏻 🧬 stay tuned 👀
Lori Lawson Handley@lorihandley.bsky.social · 2y agoTimely and important paper on guidelines for workflows and reporting of #eDNA #metabarcoding data. Hugely relevant to ongoing discussions within #ukeof #ukdnawg about standards and data mobilisation @lynseyrharper.bsky.social @danread.bsky.social

If you have ever been frustrated trying to find experimental or bioinformatic information for metabarcoding data, we propose a minimum set of information that should be included for all #eDNA publications: mbmg.pensoft.net/article/1286...

The first pre-print from Jake Jackman's PhD on #eDNA monitoring of the River Mersey, UK. We compare multiple filter types across a saline gradient (marine to freshwater) in a strongly tidal estuary. All filters generally work well, including the passive metaprobe! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
I can't hold it in any longer..the data is rolling in from the #LeDNA project and damn it is crazy good. This is the most diverse COI dataset I have ever seen! Over 72'000 ESVs from 382 lakes...the diversity is blowing my mind. And the AVITI sequencer is the new kid on the block ladies and gentlemen
This is an exciting hack!! Thank you for open sourceing this one!
Will Anderson@willaanderson.bsky.social · 2y agoA Preprint for our ~$40 USD, open source, 3D printed DNA Fluorometer, the #DIYNAFLUOR, has just been posted to bioRxiv outlining its performance and applications for #eDNA analysis!🦕🧪🧬 A big thanks to all the co-authors!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y agoThere are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Back on X, @solidevidence.bsky.social posted a great thread about his informal surveys of species in a team and I asked this (checking if this place is more responsive: Hey, #ecosky, has the #eDNA revolution been adequately appreciated by the wider world?
Well that about sums it up! Next year is the impact phase, so if you are keen to use this tech reach out to me!
