Are diatom DNA metabarcoding protocols reproducible?
How much variability between protocols affects quality assessment?

Proficiency testing and cross-laboratory method comparison to support standardisation of diatom DNA metabarcoding for freshwater biomonitoring
DNA metabarcoding of benthic diatoms has been successfully applied for biomonitoring at the national scale and can now be considered technically ready for routine application. However, protocols and m...

8 yrs ago today at a DNAqua-net workshop in 🇦🇹, the single species #eDNA validation scale was born + soon evolved into key guidance for the #eDNA community (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...). Nice to be reunited with some coauthors at #UKDNAWG26 ! @bettinathal.bsky.social @katbruce.bsky.social
A validation scale to determine the readiness of environmental DNA assays for routine species monitoring
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis for species monitoring requires rigorous validation for meaningful application and interpretation. We describe a 5-level validation scale for the user-fri...

Delighted that the EU COST Action DNAqua-Net collaboration has once more borne fruit. We undertook a structured experiment across seven DNA labs to assess sources of uncertainity in metabarcoding for freshwater macroinvertebrate community assessment.
