What's the impact of "molecular bycatch" in #eDNA metabarcoding? Researchers used an autonomous sampler in Hood Canal, WA and found that correcting for species-specific amplification bias reveals #ecological trends missed by raw read counts alone. Read the full article to learn more:

Environmental DNA (eDNA) samples capture mixtures of DNA from a wide range of organisms and often yield metabarcoding datasets that include taxa beyond the intended scope of the primer set used. The p...
