Dan Joseph Logronio, Phd student, presented his research poster on population genetics analysis of aquatic insects based on DNA metabarcoding sequences during the 6th Annual Meeting of The environmental DNA (eDNA) Society of Japan held in Kyushu University last December 2 to 5. The conference started with an excursion on how to properly collect eDNA samples from various environments (e.g. marine, pond, river). Different techniques on water sampling and filtration were shown. This was followed by poster sessions and series of symposia. The symposia include standardization of the environmental DNA sampling and experiment manual published by the society, environmental DNA analysis using non-water media, development of reference DNA databases essential for Environmental DNA surveys and contributing to a nature-positive world with environmental DNA.
Would the role of eDNA in aquatic sampling expand further? Time will tell. But when that happens, we promise to be there to share it.
