The joys of having GEANS partnermeeting on site! Thanks to Anne Winding and Rumakanta Sapkota for the treat!

At Roskilde, GEANS.eu partners contemplate and discuss the integration of pilot results. SWOT-analyses on DNA-based monitoring cases guide us towards standardization, recommendations and guidelines. #eDNA #monitoring

More than 30 stakeholders are following our geans.eu update meeting. Great to see that many of them are exploring or even implementing DNA-based monitoring methods! #eDNA #monitoring

Help us to get a meta-view on your bio-informatic workflows and data-archiving customs by filling in our online survey! It might come to your advantages since we are developing a tool to facilitate data sharing: forms.gle/GPJQsRgqQqFzfn…

This week is the last opportunity to complete the GEANS survey on bio-informatic workflows and data-archiving, so don't miss out!

Curious on how to improve marine environmental monitoring using DNA-based methods? Then ‘Save the date’ for our GEANS final event! Registration: forms.gle/Kwd8SSvDPoQXVC…

New publication on methods comparison! Metabarcoding outperformed conventional and qPCR techniques in the detection of #NIS in Danish harbors. bit.ly/3KBQwIJ

Paper alert! Sequencing data of marine macrobenthos are reproducible and robust across labs and protocols. geans.eu research by ILVO, @Naturalis_Sci, SENCKENBERG & Aarhus Universitet. Read more: bit.ly/3UGqlnG

Is bulkDNA metabarcoding reliable? We did a proficiency test and show similar marine macrobenthos patterns irrespective of the institute processing the samples or minor changes to the lab protocol. Another step towards implementation of DNA-based monitoring! GEANS

Thanks to the genetic monitoring network arms-mbon.eu, supported by geans.eu, researchers were able to document the exceptionally fast range expansion of an invasive bryozoan. bit.ly/3MZOpjM

Coming to London Calling 2023 (nanoporetech.com) in a few weeks’ time? Be sure to find geans.eu and Wageningen U&R researcher Karlijn Doorenspleet to discuss her study on North Sea #macrobenthos diversity!

Happy #BiodiversityDay! 🌊Assessing #marine biodiversity to study the effect of sand extraction with bulk DNA #metabarcoding: this tube contains PCR products of almost 100 macrobenthic species from 65 samples. Just imagine the # of containers traditional monitoring would require!

Curious on how to improve marine environmental monitoring using DNA-based methods? REGISTER NOW for the GEANS lunch webinar - June 27th. Expect to hear about the outcomes of pilot studies, about new products and outputs, and about our plans for the future. shorturl.at/fpFQ0

Wind farms have restricted access and are difficult to sample using traditional techniques. Can we use #eDNA from water samples to detect fish and epibenthos? Find out in our newly released geans.eu story at tinyurl.com/mr3b4nee

New video by geans.eu, ILVO and SciMingo: Laure Van den Bulcke explains (in Dutch) how marine environmental monitoring can be improved by implementing DNA-based methods. wetenschapuitgedokterd.be/welke-impact-h…

Last chance to register for our final webinar NEXT WEEK! Don't miss out on a program full of cases on and recommendations for DNA-based marine monitoring. northsearegion.eu/geans/news/gea…

Our FINAL webinar is TOMORROW 27 June 2023 (12:30 – 13:45 CET). We are ready! Are you😉? northsearegion.eu/geans/news/gea…

Could not agree more with the concluding message of GEANS. Great work Sofie Derycke, Laure Van den Bulcke, Reindert Nijland and partners!

Missed our webinar? Recording will be posted soon at geans.eu. Today, you can already explore a great number of reports, fact sheets, protocols and a decision support tool on the website. More to come soon!

#AnimalScience💡| Soon, the Fish Sensing Box will be the eyes, ears, and laboratory for researchers WUR Marine who want to know about the species that live under the water’s surface. Curious? Reindert Nijland tells us more ➡️ bit.ly/3OfkRyE
