Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

The genomic revolution has fundamentally changed how we survey biodiversity on earth.
High‐throughput sequencing (“HTS”) platforms now enable the rapid sequencing of DNA …

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 …

Extraction and identification of DNA from an environmental sample has proven noteworthy
recently in detecting and monitoring not only common species, but also those that are …

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 …

Extracellular DNA (exDNA) is abundant in many habitats, including soil, sediments, oceans
and freshwater as well as the intercellular milieu of metazoa. For a long time, its origin has …

Tagging amplicons with tag sequences appended to PCR primers allow the multiplexing of
numerous samples for high-throughput sequencing (HTS). This approach is routinely used …

Marine sediments are home to one of the richest species pools on Earth, but logistics and a
dearth of taxonomic work-force hinders the knowledge of their biodiversity. We characterized …

Deep-sea sediments represent the largest but least known ecosystem on earth. With
increasing anthropogenic pressure, it is now a matter of urgency to improve our …

High-throughput amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA and/or RNA proved to be a
powerful tool to describe protist diversity. This new approach called also the metabarcoding …
