Do you use DNA 🧬 for insect 🐞🦟🐝🪰🪲🦋 monitoring or plan to do so? Or have you ever imagined a future where this would be routinely applied? We discuss some of the ways to advance DNA-based insect monitoring in @TrendsGenetics 🧵 1/6 https://t.co/fAywGjqycc

[Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) @BioGenEurope]

One week left for #BG23!

BGE’s day at the conference will devote 2 entire sessions to showcase applications of #DNA #sequencing to understand & conserve #biodiversity: from #seagrass to #pollinators, #darktaxa or #airborneDNA!🧬

The Biodiversity Knowledge Hub is now online making it easier to access interlinked biodiversity data (taxonomy, ecology, sequences etc).

[BiCIKL_H2020 @Bicikl_H2020]

🚨 The Biodiversity Knowledge Hub is online! 🚨

#BKH is one of the primary outcomes of
💜🧡💚#BiCIKL_H2020 💜🧡💚: it is a one-stop portal that allows users to access #FAIR and interlinked #biodiversitydata and services in a few clicks

@alpineedna That’s so cool! I can’t wait to see what u discover about Singapore. Maybe the next time I visit home I’ll see one of your drones flying around 😄

Important that we maximize the use of #eDNA #biodiversity data by using comparable approaches. That’s what we will introduce and discuss in this session. @eDNA_Society @eDNAcollab @DNAquaNet @SeDNASociety

This is also my bittersweet farewell to my PhD subject which have brought me immense joy even after graduation. A huge shout out to the best mentors that I could ever ask for @kristinebohmann, Inger, and Sanne for sparking my love for research. It has been a great 💩 journey 🤩😍

[Physilia Chua @phychua]

Can a wild herbivorous wood grouse that most people would probably never come across be a potential high-risk host for antibiotic-resistant bacteria 🦠? That was exactly what @kid4_j and I found from the poop 💩 of western capercaillies https://t.co/ygsm2BHZxO 🧵 1/9

[Physilia Chua @phychua]

Thanks to @kid4_j for this wild 🦠 ride! This study would absolutely not have been possible without his brilliance and hard work! And for saying yes immediately when I first proposed this idea back then (even when I knew nothing at all 😅). 9/9 @Globe_UCPH @evohologen
