    • Assigning the unassigned: A signature-based classification of rDNA metabarcodes reveals new deep-sea diversity 

      Barrenechea Angeles, Inés; Nguyen, Ngoc-Loi; Greco, Mattia; Tan, Koh Siang; Pawlowski, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-29)
      Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals a vast genetic diversity of marine eukaryotes. Yet, most of the metabarcoding data remain unassigned due to the paucity of reference databases. This is particularly true for the deep-sea meiofauna and eukaryotic microbiota, whose hidden diversity is largely unexplored. Here, we tackle this issue by using unique DNA signatures to classify unknown metabarcodes ...
    • Sedimentary ancient DNA: a new paleogenomic tool for reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems 

      Nguyen, Ngoc-Loi; Devendra, Dhanushka; Szymanska, Natalia; Greco, Mattia; Barrenechea Angeles, Inés Andrea; Weiner, Agnes K. M.; Ray, Jessica Louise; Cordier, Tristan; De Schepper, Stijn; Pawłowski, Jan; Pawłowska, Joanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-06-09)
      Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) offers a novel retrospective approach to reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems over geological timescales. Until now, the biological proxies used to reconstruct paleoceanographic and paleoecological conditions were limited to organisms whose remains are preserved in the fossil record. The development of ancient DNA analysis techniques substantially expands ...
