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.

Host institute(s): Cyprus University of Technology (Cyprus)
Time span: Ongoing
Description: The project aims to design and validate DNA metabarcoding methodology for European benthic diatoms identification and to develop a DNA-based analytic test for its standard application in biodiversity assessments of European rivers. The project’s main output will be a low-cost product, a unique and fast DNA-based tool for routine application.

Description: Diat.barcode database is an open-access library of diatom barcodes which is curated and which guarantees good taxonomical homogeneity and good quality of sequences. Data have different sources (INRAE TCC, barcoding project of diatoms in UK, NCBI) and are curated by an international consortium of taxonomical experts (France, Germany, Sweden, UK, Spain, Russia, Croatia, Luxemburg). Diat.barcode v10 encompasses >8000 barcodes from >1500 species.
