Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.We developed high‐precision genome assemblies for two endangered avian species in Japan, the Okinawa rail and the Japanese golden eagle, using a hybrid approach combining short‐ and long‐read whole genome sequencing technologies. This method improved assembly contiguity, reduced missing data, and enhanced completeness, improving the results of ...

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 650-667, March 2026.Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The rapid growth of genome sequencing has outpaced the development of efficient annotation tools, especially for species lacking transcriptome data. To address this challenge, we present QuickProt, a fast, accurate and user‐friendly homology‐based protein annotation tool.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...

GeneMiner2: Accurate and Automated Recovery of Genes From Genome Skimming Data
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT With the growing accessibility of low cost genome skimming, large‐scale recovery of target genes in non‐model species has become feasible, providing strong data for phylogenomic and evolutionary studies. However, existing tools for data assembly including Read2Tree, HybPiper, and GeneMiner still suffer from computational difficulty and ...
