Using flow-cytometry and metagenomics, coupled with an upstream pre-processing step to remove relic-DNA (DNA left behind from dead or dying cells) to determine the live population of the skin microbio
The accurate extraction of species-abundance information from DNA-based data (metabarcoding, metagenomics) could contribute usefully to the reconstruction of diets and quantitative foodwebs, the infer
Sediment DNA (sedDNA) analyses are rapidly emerging as powerful tools for the reconstruction of environmental and evolutionary change. While there are an increasing number of studies using molecular g
