Diverse Applications of Environmental DNA Methods in Parasitology [PDF]
Nucleic acid extraction and sequencing of genes from organisms within envi- ronmental samples encompasses a variety of techniques collectively referred to as environmental DNA or ‘eDNA’. The key advantages of eDNA analysis include the detection of cryptic or otherwise elusive organisms, large-scale sampling with fewer biases than specimen-based methods,

eDNAPlus: A unifying modelling framework for DNA-based biodiversity monitoring [PDF]
DNA-based biodiversity surveys involve collecting physical samples from survey sites and assaying the contents in the laboratory to detect species via their diagnostic DNA sequences. DNA-based surveys are increasingly being adopted for biodiversity monitoring.

Charge-Transfer Matrix Elements by FMO-LCMO Approach: Hole Transfer in DNA with Parameter Tuned Range-Separated DFT [PDF]
A scheme for computing charge-transfer matrix elements with the linear combination of fragment molecular orbitals and the 'nonempirically tuned range-separated' density functional is presented. It takes account of the self-consistent orbital relaxation induced by environmental Coulomb field and the exchange interaction in fragment pairs at low ...

Consequences of environmental DNA pooling
DNA-based techniques are increasingly used to assess biodiversity both above- and belowground. Most effort has focussed on bioinformatics and sample collection, whereas less is known about the consequences of mixing collected environmental DNA (eDNA), post-extraction and pre-PCR.

Phylogenetic classification of short environmental DNA fragments [PDF]
Metagenomics is providing striking insights into the ecology of microbial communities. The recently developed massively parallel 454 pyrosequencing technique gives the opportunity to rapidly obtain metagenomic sequences at a low cost and without cloning bias.

Environmental DNA test validation guidelines.
These Environmental DNA test validation guidelines provide harmonised quality control and minimum standard considerations for developing or validating eDNA/eRNA assays for the purpose of single-species or multi-species detection. This document is a comprehensive guide for the development and use of eDNA/eRNA tests, recommended and curated by eDNA ...

Modeling molecular conduction in DNA wires: Charge transfer theories and dissipative quantum transport [PDF]
Measurements of electron transfer rates as well as of charge transport characteristics in DNA produced a number of seemingly contradictory results, ranging from insulating behaviour to the suggestion that DNA is an efficient medium for charge transport.

Environmental DNA for the enumeration and management of Pacific salmon [PDF]
AbstractPacific salmon are a keystone resource in Alaska, generating annual revenues of well over ~US$500 million/year. Due to their anadromous life history, adult spawners distribute amongst thousands of streams, posing a huge management challenge.
