Lab and Bioinformatics Process Videos

Once water sampling is complete, filtered DNA is sent to the University of Maine’s eDNA CORE Lab in Orono for processing which involves extracting the DNA from the samples, metabarcode analysis, and interpretation of the results by bioinformatician Dr. Laura Jackson. Watch the videos below to learn more about these processes.
