New Version of the DADA2-GTDB SSU (16s rRNA sequences for both Archaea and Bacteria) following the 214 release. Not all MAGs will have a well-constructed SSU. Happy holiday research

DNA is all around us - including in the air and spiderwebs provide natural DNA biofilter capturing the signal of animals living within 800m. Congrats Josh Newton @Curtin_TrEnD on your innovative & fascinating #eDNA study #MLSSymposium
Come along to @wamuseum and learn all about driving forces behind the five pivotal mass extinctions from the West Australian Scientist of the Year 2022, Kliti Grice🦕
👉Register to attend Kliti's the talk on the 16 November https://t.co/QkcvcHiY2p
During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras,
and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground.

TrEnD lab’s most recent member – a #NextSeq 2000 to supercharge #eDNA studies! Special thanks to #BHP for supporting the eDNA for Global Environment Studies (#eDGES) program. The possibilities pipeline is primed to explode! @eDNAfrontiers@CurtinEandA@illumina
🌱 This underscores the potential of blending traditional net surveys & eDNA in saline lakes. Urgent conservation is needed to protect these vulnerable ecosystems. Larger-scale investigations can shape effective biomonitoring for saline wetlands.
Just published in @JOL_Official: " When nets meet eDNA metabarcoding” This study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding in assessing invertebrate communities within hypersaline lakes. #eDNA#HypersalineLakes#Ecology#Conservation

🦐 A preliminary study at Rottnest Island, WA, combines eDNA with conventional techniques, targeting hypersaline lakes. Invertebrates, key indicators, revealed diverse taxa. DNA analysis outperforms morphology-based methods.
🌊 Saline & hypersaline wetlands, half of global inland waters, teem with life & serve as vital ecosystems. They offer essential services like carbon storage & resources. Yet, assessing their ecology lags behind freshwater studies.
Reptiles and #eDNA don't often mix, but @mahsan64 and partners have shown that the elusive Pilbara Olive Python can be detected from rock pools using eDNA. Excellent collaboration between @Curtin_TrEnD, @eDNAfrontiers, consultants and industry #eDGES
