A Meandering Journey Towards the Source of Zeros  A few years ago, we started running triplicate technical PCR replicates for

An important step in many molecular biology protocols (including eDNA metabarcoding) is purifying and size-selecting DNA or PCR products. In

As we are getting the eDNA Collaborative set up, we have decided this is a better home for the eDNA

A key aspect of ecology is trying to compare the communities of species between different sites to answer the seemingly

As eDNA datasets have become more common, a frequent and reasonable step for many applications is to compare some eDNA

A really practical question for eDNA is: so what? So I can detect all kinds of species in the world

One of the first questions asked when presenting eDNA data is: “It is great that you found eDNA from beaver

eDNA metabarcoding still never ceases to amaze, a single liter of sea water detecting hundreds of species from bread crumbs

A recent Twitter thread got me thinking more about rare reads in metabarcoding studies. I have, at points in the
