We developed a Blueprint & Roadmap for a FAIRer #eDNA digital ecosystem for scalable ocean observation. Our recommendations align with the @ec.europa.eu Ocean Research & Innovation Strategy & #OceanEye, placing Europe as a leader in biodiversity monitoring. 📥 tinyurl.com/5evnbwnf #Biodiversity

Reliable #eDNA analysis depends on robust, curated reference databases. Strengthening these resources is key to accurate species identification — especially as methods expand to metabarcoding and long-read sequencing. #eDNA depends on robust, curated reference databases. #Biodiversity #Knowledge

🧬Unlocking #eDNA for #biodiversity Our new posters & fact sheets show how eDNA supports #MSFD, #WFD, #OceanPact & #OceanEye. Explore how we’re building a roadmap for a FAIRer, harmonised eDNA digital ecosystem for a sustainable future 🔗 tinyurl.com/52fk5uay @horizoneu.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

#eDNA has grown in the last decades, but methods are often developed in isolation, making it harder to exchange data, compare results, & scale up. This commentary highlights what standardisation is & why it matters➡️ tinyurl.com/26n6z23y #Biodiversity #DNA #Standard

Thank you for a successful #eDNAquaPlan event! With CostasKadis, and hosted by MEP Paulo do Nascimento Cabral, we discussed eDNA’s role in EU policy & FAIR data ecosystems at the @europarl.europa.eu with scientists, industry & policymakers. Next: Roadmap & Sustainability Plan! #Biodiversity #EU
