Aquatic environments are identified as an ideal setting for acquisition and dissemination of
antibiotic resistance, and human exposure to antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

This book represents a synthesis of knowledge and best practice in the field of DNA-based
biomonitoring at the time of writing. It has been written with end-users of molecular tools in …

The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are present as both intracellular and extracellular
fractions of DNA in the environment. Due to the poor yield of extracellular DNA in …

Genetic identification of aqueous environmental DNA (eDNA) provides site occupancy
inferences for rare aquatic macrofauna that are often easier to obtain than direct …

Marine ecosystems worldwide are under threat with many fish species and populations
suffering from human over-exploitation. This is greatly impacting global biodiversity …

Using environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect aquatic macroorganisms is a new survey
method with broad applicability. However, the origin, state and fate of aqueous macrobial …

The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance has pose a huge threat to both human
health and environmental ecosystem. However, little is known regarding the pool of ARGs in …

In marine sediments, DNA occurs both inside and outside living organisms. DNA not
enclosed in living cells may account for the largest fraction of total DNA, and include …
