Automated eDNA and eRNA profiling for biodiversity monitoring in marine and freshwater ecosystems

|
By Robert G. Beiko, Jennifer Tolman, Mohamed Fares, Tom Knox, Nicholas Jeffery, Ryan Stanley, Vincent J. Sieben, Julie LaRoche, Soma Sardar Barawi, Connor M. Mackie, Iain Grundke
| Nature Verified
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring is essential to measure the impacts of pollution, invasive species, and the longer-term effects of climate change. Automated samplers enable temporally flexible, remote collection of environmental DNA (eDNA), improving access to time-sensitive events.

Comparison of spatio-temporal dynamics and composition in size-fractionated and unfractionated Northwestern Atlantic microbial communities

| BioRxiv
Abstract Size fractionation is a widely applied approach to target specific microbial size ranges, differentiating between larger particle-associated, and smaller free-living microorganisms. To characterize its impact on microbial diversity and its comparability to unfractionated samples, we analyzed 16 weekly ocean samples across five depths during a spring bloom.

INTRODUCTION Microorganisms exist in almost every conceivable niche, and a diverse range of taxa has essential roles in the habitats they occupy. In the human body, the composition of the microbiome is associated with different health conditions (Huttenhower et al., 2012; Ruan et al., 2020), and microbes are potential sources of disease therapy (Durack & Lynch, 2018; Lev-Sagie et al., 2019).
