PlutoF—a Web Based Workbench for Ecological and Taxonomic Research, with an Online Implementation for Fungal ITS Sequences
DNA sequences accumulating in the International Nucleotide Sequence Databases (INSD) form a rich source of information for taxonomic and ecological meta-analyses. However, these databases include many erroneous entries, and the data itself is poorly annotated with metadata, making it difficult to target and extract entries of interest with any degree of precision. Here we describe the web-based...
متن کاملImproved Inference of Taxonomic Richness from Environmental DNA
Accurate estimation of biological diversity in environmental DNA samples using high-throughput amplicon pyrosequencing must account for errors generated by PCR and sequencing. We describe a novel approach to distinguish the underlying sequence diversity in environmental DNA samples from errors that uses information on the abundance distribution of similar sequences across independent samples, a...
متن کاملTaxonomic Reliability of DNA Sequences in Public Sequence Databases: A Fungal Perspective
BACKGROUND DNA sequences are increasingly seen as one of the primary information sources for species identification in many organism groups. Such approaches, popularly known as barcoding, are underpinned by the assumption that the reference databases used for comparison are sufficiently complete and feature correctly and informatively annotated entries. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The pres...
متن کاملDisposable single-use electrochemical sensor: A novel hollow fiber based tool for environmental monitoring of cadmium
The objective of this study is to design a simple, fast, sensitive and single-use electrode with the simultaneous capability of preconcentration and measuring, for application in a three-electrode voltammetry system to identify and measure the heavy metal cadmium. The design process of this sensor consists of several stages. The polyurethane foam and multi walled carbon nanotubes nanoparticles ...
متن کاملEnvironmental education as a solution tool for the prevention of water pollution
Water is the origin of life. 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water and all living things must have water to survive. Life without water can not be considered. Despite this, of all living things only humans exploit, waste and pollute this vital natural resource. Raising awareness of the people on this issue is of great importance. At this point, environmental education is a key concept....
