Website
Geographical region(s): Trans boundary
Ecosystem coverage: Freshwater
Taxonomic group(s): Protista
Host institute(s): INRAE Carrtel (France)
Time span: Ongoing
Description: (e)DNA tools for the biomonitoring of freshwater phytoplankton: – A web-based application (Phytool) developed with ShinyApp (Rstudio) aims to make the harmonisation of taxonomy easier and in a more efficient way, using a complete and up-to-date taxonomy reference database for freshwater microalgae. – Phytool barcode libraries : selected specific barcodes within the two marker genes (rRNA16S and rRNA23S) allow to target the entire freshwater phytoplankton community. These barcode libraries will be enriched in the next releases of the application.

Geographical region(s): Trans boundary
Ecosystem coverage: Freshwater, Marine, Terrestrial
Taxonomic group(s): Arthropods (insects), Arthropods (non insects)
Host institute(s): Università degli Studi di Firenze (Italy)
Time span: Ongoing
Description: We have published a complete DNA-barecoding library of European butterflies in 2021 (https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-01834-7) and in 2022 we created the atlas of mitochondrial genetic diversity of west-Palearctic butterflies (>30,000 sequences) where the maps of haplotype distribution for w-Palaearctic species are provided. The atlas can be freely downloaded in the project page.

Geographical region(s): Trans boundary
Ecosystem coverage: Freshwater, Marine, Terrestrial
Taxonomic group(s): Arthropods (insects), Arthropods (non insects), Plants, Fungi & lichens, Other metazoa
Host institute(s): IBIOM-CNR – Institute of Biomembranes, Bioenergetics and Molecular Biotechnologies – Italian National Research Council (Italy)
Time span: Ongoing
Description: The institute has a long history in Bioenergetics and Biomembranes research at both national and international levels. Among the many scientific activities, molecular biodiversity constitutes one of the main research objectives. This includes the development of experimental methods using High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies to implement DNA barcoding and metagenomics (amplicon-based and shotgun) approaches. Another research area relevant to the consortium regards the setup and the development of computational pipelines compatible with big data analyzes, database curation and building and data integration focused on barcoding studies and on Omics data in general.
