eDNA Monitoring and Jellyfish

Cheryl L. Ames from the US Naval Research Laboratory presented at London Calling 2019 on “Field-forward sequencing with Oxford Nanopore technology – a strategy to establish the upside-down mangrove jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana as a bioindicator.” They emphasized the biodiversity of the ocean is largely unexplored… and also threatened by climate change and overfishing. Environmental DNA […]

Exploring Plant Biodiversity with the Flongle

I am starting to watch older Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) videos to prepare background information for the course we are developing. Tonight, I watched a session by Rob Harbert from Stonehill College. The title of the presentation was “Monitoring plant biodiversity in aquatic eDNA with low-cost Oxford Nanopore Flongle sequencing.”They used the Flongle for metabarcoding. […]

At Home Mitogenomes

“Affordable de novo generation of fish mitogenomes using amplification-free targeted enrichment and deep sequencing of long fragments” is the title of the London Calling 2022 session by Ana Ramon-Laca from NOAA Fisheries and the University of Washington that I watched tonight. They began by talking about eDNA surveys and metabarcoding tools to survey environments. Ramon-Laca […]
