Biodiversity and functional genomics in the human microbiome [PDF]
Over the course of our lives, humans are colonized by a tremendous diversity of commensal microbes, which comprise the human microbiome. The collective genetic potential (metagenome) of the human microbiome is orders of magnitude more than the human genome, and it profoundly affects human health and disease in ways we are only beginning to understand ...

Reconciling seascape genetics and fisheries science in three codistributed flatfishes
Uncertainty hampers innovative mixed‐fisheries management by the scales at which connectivity dynamics are relevant to management objectives. The spatial scale of sustainable stock management is species‐specific and depends on ecology, life history and ...

The BioGenome Portal: a web-based platform for biodiversity genomics data management. [PDF]
Biodiversity genomics projects are underway with the aim of sequencing the genomes of all eukaryotic species on Earth. Here we describe the BioGenome Portal, a web-based application to facilitate organization and access to the data produced by ...

Metabarcoding arthropods in agroecosystems in Southern Ontario, Canada [PDF]
Metabarcoding can generate large numbers of georeferenced occurrence data from bulk samples at low cost. Its integration into the practice of agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring currently lacks both standard methods and example datasets that allow ...

A Sequel to Sanger: amplicon sequencing that scales
Background Although high-throughput sequencers (HTS) have largely displaced their Sanger counterparts, the short read lengths and high error rates of most platforms constrain their utility for amplicon sequencing.

Genomic Approaches in Marine Biodiversity and Aquaculture [PDF]
Recent advances in genomic and post-genomic technologies have now established the new standard in medical and biotechnological research. The introduction of next-generation sequencing, NGS,has resulted in the generation of thousands of genomes from all domains of life, including the genomes of complex uncultured microbial communities revealed through ...

A low-cost, scalable solution for automated cutting of entomological labels [PDF]
The digitization and labelling of historic and new specimens is a time-consuming, error-prone process as labels are still often hand-cut. To improve efficiency and consistency, we developed a low-cost solution for high-throughput environments which ...

The European Reference Genome Atlas: piloting a decentralised approach to equitable biodiversity genomics. [PDF]
Abstract A genomic database of all Earth’s eukaryotic species could contribute to many scientific discoveries; however, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. In 2018, scientists across the world united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), aiming to produce a database of high-quality reference genomes ...
