深圳华大基因研究院与生物医学中心（BioMed Central）联合创办的开放式期刊——《GigaScience》发布了一项新的生物多样性研究技术——PCR-free metabarcoding，该方法摆脱了传统研究中对PCR扩增的依赖，转而从匀浆的混合昆虫样本中提取DNA并直接使用高通量测序技术 ...

马铃薯（Solanum tuberosum）是全球粮食安全的重要作物，中国马铃薯种植受虫害影响严重，但昆虫群落特征不明。研究人员通过 DNA metabarcoding 技术研究云南马铃薯田昆虫多样性，确定 1707 个 BINs，为害虫监测管理及生物多样性研究提供数据支持。 马铃薯作为全球第 ...

Metabarcoding allows scientists to extract DNA from the environment (known as environmental DNA or eDNA), for example, river water or, as in the case of the study by the team from the University of ...

Healthy freshwater ecosystems are crucial for supporting wildlife and supplying humans with necessities like food, water, energy, and transportation. Despite this, there is a remarkable lack of data ...

A new study demonstrates that DNA metabarcoding provides a promising new method for tracking human plant intake, suggesting that similar approaches could be used to characterize the animal and fungal ...

Washington, DC - October 8, 2019 - A new study demonstrates that DNA metabarcoding provides a promising new method for tracking human plant intake, suggesting that similar approaches could be used to ...

Researchers found that DNA metabarcoding is an effective tool for detection of a broad range of biodiversity in water samples compared to traditional morphological identification methods. The ability ...

A new study has shown that DNA metabarcoding serves as a powerful new tool for monitoring humans’ intake of plants, which could help researchers understand more about what we eat and how it affects ...

Indian scientists at ZSI have pioneered a groundbreaking method using DNA metabarcoding to decode spider-parasitoid relationships directly from egg sacs. This innovative approach, published in ...
