GEANS

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

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!

Could not agree more with the concluding message of @GEANS_Interreg. Great work @SofieDerycke, @LaureVdBulcke, @ReindertN and partners!

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

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…

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

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

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

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!

Coming to London Calling 2023 (nanoporetech.com) in a few weeks’ time? Be sure to find geans.eu and @WUR researcher @kdoorenspleet to discuss her study on North Sea #macrobenthos diversity!

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

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_Interreg

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

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

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…

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

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…

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

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

The joys of having @GEANS_Interreg partnermeeting on site! Thanks to @AnneW44 and @Rumakanta1 for the treat!
