Survival of environmental DNA in sediments: Mineralogic control on DNA taphonomy [PDF]

Environmental DNA, 2020
Abstract Extraction of environmental DNA (eDNA) from sediments are providing ground-breaking views of the past ecosystems and biodiversity. Despite this rich source of information, it is still unclear which sediments favour preservation and why.

Digging for DNA at depth: rapid universal metabarcoding surveys (RUMS) as a tool to detect coral reef biodiversity across a depth gradient [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Effective biodiversity monitoring is fundamental in tracking changes in ecosystems as it relates to commercial, recreational, and conservation interests. Current approaches to survey coral reef ecosystems center on the use of indicator species

Metagenomics: DNA sequencing of environmental samples [PDF]

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2005
Although genomics has classically focused on pure, easy-to-obtain samples, such as microbes that grow readily in culture or large animals and plants, these organisms represent only a fraction of the living or once-living organisms of interest. Many species are difficult to study in isolation because they fail to grow in laboratory culture, depend on ...

Maternal nutritional status, C1 metabolism and offspring DNA methylation: a review of current evidence in human subjects. [PDF]

, 2011
: Evidence is growing for the long-term effects of environmental factors during early-life on later disease susceptibility. It is believed that epigenetic mechanisms (changes in gene function not mediated by DNA sequence alteration), particularly DNA ...

Persistence of environmental DNA in marine systems [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2018
AbstractAs environmental DNA (eDNA) becomes an increasingly valuable resource for marine ecosystem monitoring, understanding variation in its persistence across contrasting environments is critical. Here, we quantify the breakdown of macrobial eDNA over a spatio-temporal axis of locally extreme conditions, varying from ocean-influenced offshore to ...

Reporting the limits of detection and quantification for environmental DNA assays [PDF]

, 2019
Background Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is increasingly being used to detect the presence and relative abundance of rare species, especially invasive or imperiled aquatic species.

Discovery of cyanophage genomes which contain mitochondrial DNA polymerase [PDF]

, 2011
DNA polymerase γ is a family A DNA polymerase responsible for the replication of mitochondrial DNA in eukaryotes. The origins of DNA polymerase γ have remained elusive because it is not present in any known bacterium, though it has been hypothesized that

Impact of DNA lesion repair, replication and formation on the mutational spectra of environmental carcinogens: Aflatoxin B1 as a case study [PDF]

, 2020
In a multicellular organism, somatic mutations represent a permanent record of the past chemical and biochemical perturbations experienced by a cell in its local microenvironment.

On a roll: a direct comparison of extraction methods for the recovery of eDNA from roller swabbing of surfaces

BMC Research Notes, 2023
Objective Roller swabbing of surfaces is an effective way to obtain environmental DNA, but the current DNA extraction method for these samples is equipment heavy, time consuming, and increases potential contamination through multiple handling.
