New paper out! We show the potential of eDNA to estimate abundance and biomass parameters for stock assessments of flatfishes in the North Sea. @ILVOvlaanderen @SofieDerycke.

Is bulkDNA metabarcoding reliable? We did a proficiency test and show similar marine macrobenthos patterns irrespective of the institute processing the samples or minor changes to the lab protocol. Another step towards implementation of DNA-based monitoring! @GEANS_Interreg

Paper alert! Sequencing data of marine macrobenthos are reproducible and robust across labs and protocols. geans.eu research by @ILVOvlaanderen, @Naturalis_Sci, @Senckenberg & @AarhusUni. Read more: bit.ly/3UGqlnG
