Environmental DNA metabarcoding: transforming how we survey animal and plant communities
Kristy Deiner,Holly M. Bik,Elvira Mächler,Elvira Mächler,Mathew Seymour,Anaïs Lacoursière-Roussel,Florian Altermatt,Florian Altermatt,Simon Creer,Iliana Bista,Iliana Bista,David M. Lodge,Natasha de Vere,Michael E. Pfrender,Louis Bernatchez +14 more
TL;DR: The use of eDNA metabarcoding for surveying animal and plant richness, and the challenges in using eDNA approaches to estimate relative abundance are reviewed, which distill what is known about the ability of different eDNA sample types to approximate richness in space and across time.
Journal ArticleDOI
PhyloSift: phylogenetic analysis of genomes and metagenomes.
Aaron E. Darling,Aaron E. Darling,Guillaume Jospin,Eric Lowe,Frederick A. Matsen,Holly M. Bik,Jonathan A. Eisen +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents an approach to leverage phylogenetic analysis of metagenomic sequence data to conduct phylogeny-driven Bayesian hypothesis tests for the presence of an organism in a sample and applies new tools to analyze the phylogenetic diversity of microbial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing our way towards understanding global eukaryotic biodiversity
Holly M. Bik,Dorota L. Porazinska,Simon Creer,J. Gregory Caporaso,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,W. Kelley Thomas +6 more
TL;DR: Despite a promising outlook, the field of eukaryotic marker gene surveys faces significant challenges: how to generate data that are most useful to the community, especially in the face of evolving sequencing technologies and bioinformatics pipelines, and how to incorporate an expanding number of target genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An introduction to social media for scientists.
Holly M. Bik,Miriam C. Goldstein +1 more
TL;DR: Online social media tools can be some of the most rewarding and informative resources for scientists—IF you know how to use them.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecologist's field guide to sequence‐based identification of biodiversity
Simon Creer,Kristy Deiner,Serita D. Frey,Dorota L. Porazinska,Pierre Taberlet,W. Kelley Thomas,Caitlin Potter,Holly M. Bik +7 more
TL;DR: The aim here is to succinctly describe the different technologies available within the omics toolbox and showcase the opportunities available to contemporary ecologists to advance the understanding of biodiversity and its potential roles in ecosystems.
