BGE+ NEW COURSE: DNA barcoding and metabarcoding using ONTOLOGY™
ONTOLOGY is a new platform for distributed DNA barcoding and metabarcoding—is integrates freeze-dried ‘just-add-water’ PCR plates that complete indexing and amplification in one step, and software that recognizes the indexing scheme to automate demultiplexing and bioinformatics. This course provides training so that participants can effectively use ONTOLOGY for their research, covering topics in the molecular […]

Building DNA reference libraries to support nature and green growth in Europe – BGE’s policy brief
The need for reference libraries of European biodiversity DNA technologies and genomic science now offer a step-change in how nature can be managed, conserved and utilized. The ability to use DNA to measure and monitor diversity at the species and genetic levels opens up a multitude of applications for which reference libraries of DNA barcodes […]
