The Collection of Bespoke Laboratory Equipment (COBLE) is accepted with minor revisions in #AppsPlantSci which means I can finally post our designs! Want to #3Dprint your own lab equipment? Download the designs and step-by-step instructions here! printables.com/model/45750-c…
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
eDNA as a routine measure of #biodiversity in real-world, large-scale applications & across environmental settings. Calling all abstracts for the use of #eDNA in long-term environmental stewardship programs.

We have a new paper, out today in @NatureEcoEvo , where we evaluated effects of inbreeding on individual fitness and population growth of the Southern Resident killer whales. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
Last fall, the Japanese government decided to relax entry restrictions significantly. Following that, The eDNA Society immediately began planning our international conference. Sorry for the late notice, but the conference website is now live! edna2023.com/
After years of eDNA work, a pandemic, and a hurricane delaying the experiments, a prime chapter of my thesis is finally published!
How many and how far? If you want to know, consider sequentially filtering your water samples. Here is why: (see thread)

ALT Two examples of changes in communities due to PCR bias and illustrations of potential solutions. A and B show communities of 3 taxa with variation in amplification efficiency. Left panels show the PCR process where slopes of lines are determined by the taxon-specific amplification efficiencies. Right panels compare the true starting-community DNA composition and the observed community composition at PCR cycle 30

I've been trying to start a DNA service lab. My department had an abandoned building at forest edge. We got water and heat and then lab members moved out junk and cleaned decades of gunk and mouse poop over 2 days. Welcome to the future OSU Center for Environmental Genetics /1
@invertDna can’t believe it’s been over a decade since Kai Lee and Chris Scholin provided the primer(s) 😂 to get our idea off the ground. Great to be reunited with the original crew at @marineedna2022 . #forevergreatful#eDNA
