Environmental DNA for Biomonitoring of Aquatic Ecosystems Webinar

ID-GENE ecodiagnostics is a Swiss-based company committed to develop and provide innovative DNA solutions for environmental monitoring. 

In this webinar, Dr. Kristina Cermakova, scientific collaborator and high-throughput sequencing Manager at ID-GENE ecodiagnostics, presents the different applications of environmental DNA for biomonitoring of marine and fresh water ecosystems by generating and analysing metabarcoding data using high-throughput sequencing technologies.

The presentation will address the following questions:

• What is environmental DNA (eDNA), and what are its applications for biomonitoring of aquatic ecosystems?
• What is metabarcoding, and how is eDNA analysed by using high-throughput sequencing technologies?
• What are the different applications of metabarcoding for assessing ecological quality status?
