Check out our new paper in @molecology which explores how #CRSIPR can be used for targeting #DNA #barcodes, entire #chloroplast #genomes, and the relative #abundance of species in a sample. Read here: buff.ly/4aPeCLf 🧬🥼 @Brown_IBES

CRISPR technology offers an exciting opportunity for targeted sequencing in biodiversity science. Curious how DNA barcodes and entire chloroplast genomes can be enriched using CRISPR methods and without the need for PCR? Read: buff.ly/4aPeCLf

🧵 1/3
A diagram outlining the difference between PCR and CRISPR based pipelines for DNA barcoding. Unlike PCR-based approaches where PCR reagents must successfully amplify target regions and sequenced on a lab-based sequencer, CRISPR based approaches enrich target regions using the CRISPR-Cas complex and sequenced using portable sequencing technologies (e.g., ONT). Where PCR-based approaches may be laborious and require expensive equipment, CRISPR-based methods are faster, more versatile and precise.

So thankful to have @lsweyrich join @EEB_Brown today and give an incredible seminar! Great to think about how the evolutionary histories of our microbiomes can help shape modern medical practices. Thanks for joining us, Laura 🙏🏼

Exciting @EEB_Brown departmental seminar today, about the evolutionary history of the human #microbiome, by @lsweyrich.
