    • Avoiding quantification bias in metabarcoding: Application of a cell biovolume correction factor in diatom molecular biomonitoring 

      Vasselon, Valentin; Bouchez, Agnès; Rimet, Frédéric; Jacquet, Stéphan; Trobajo, Rosa; Corniquel, Méline; Topolczai, Kálmán; Domaizon, Isabelle (Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017-12-26) Aigües Marines i Continentals
      In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in developing environmental DNA metabarcoding. However, its ability to quantify species relative abundance remains uncertain, limiting its application ...
    • Diat.barcode, an open-access curated barcode library for diatoms 

      Rimet, Frédéric; Gusev, Evgenuy; Kahlert, Maria; Kelly, Martyn G.; Kulikovskiy, Maxim; Maltsev, Yevhen; Mann, David G.; Pfannkuchen, Martin; Trobajo, Rosa; Vasselon, Valentin; Zimmermann, Jonas; Bouchez, Agnès (Scientific Reports, 2019-10-22) Aigües Marines i Continentals
      Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are ubiquitous microalgae which produce a siliceous exoskeleton and which make a major contribution to the productivity of oceans and freshwaters. They display a huge diversity, ...
    • Evaluation and sensitivity analysis of diatom DNA metabarcoding for WFD bioassessment of Mediterranean rivers 

      Pérez-Burillo, Javier; Trobajo, Rosa; Vasselon, Valentin; Rimet, Frédéric; Bouchez, Agnès; Mann, David G. (Science of The Total Environment, 2020-04-04) Aigües Marines i Continentals
      Our study of 164 diatom samples from Catalonia (NE Spain) is the first to evaluate the applicability of DNA metabarcoding, based on high throughput sequencing (HTS) using a 312-bp rbcL marker, for ...
    • Metadata standards and practical guidelines for specimen and DNA curation when building barcode reference libraries for aquatic life 

      Rimet, Frédéric; Aylagas, Eva; Borja, Angel; Bouchez, Agnès; Canino, Alexis; Chauvin, Christian; Chonova, Teofana; Ciampor Jr, Fedor; Costa, Filipe O.; Ferrari, Benoit J.D.; Gastineau, Romain; Goulon, Chloé; Gugger, Muriel; Holzmann, Maria; Jahn, Regine; Kahlert, Maria; Kusbert, Wolf-Henning; Laplace-Treyture, Christophe; Leese, Florian; Leliaert, Frederik; Mann, David G.; Marchand, Frédéric; Méléder, Vona; Pawlowski, Jan; Rasconi, Serena; Rivera, Sinziana; Rougerie, Rodolphe; Schweizer, Magali; Trobajo, Rosa; Vasselon, Valentin; Vivien, Régis; Weigand, Alexander; Witkowski, Andrzej; Zimmermann, Jonas; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Metabarcoding and Metagenomics (MBMG), 2021-02-26) Aigües Marines i Continentals
      DNA barcoding and metabarcoding is increasingly used to effectively and precisely assess and monitor biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. As these methods rely on data availability and quality of barcode ...
    • The future of biotic indices in the ecogenomic era: Integrating (e)DNA metabarcoding in biological assessment of aquatic ecosystems 

      Pawlowski, Jan; Kelly-Quinn, Mary; Altermatt, Florian; Apothéloz-Perret-Gentil, Laure; Beja, Pedro; Boggero, Angela; Borja, Angel; Bouchez, Agnès; Cordier, Tristan; Domaizon, Isabelle; Feio, Maria Joao; Filipe, Ana Filipa; Fornaroli, Ricardo; Graf, Wolfram; Herder, Jelger; van der Hoorn, Berry; Jones, J. Iwan; Sagova-Mareckova, Marketa; Moritz, Christian; Barquín, Jose; Piggott, Jeremy J.; Pinna, Maurizio; Rimet, Frederic; Rinkevich, Buki; Sousa-Santos, Carla; Specchia, Valeria; Trobajo, Rosa; Vasselon, Valentin; Vitecek, Simon; Zimmerman, Jonas; Weigand, Alexander; Leese, Florian; Kahlert, Maria (Science of the Total Environment, 2018-05-22) Aigües Marines i Continentals
      The bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems is currently based on various biotic indices that use the occurrence and/or abundance of selected taxonomic groups to define ecological status. These conventional ...
    • The potential of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) of natural samples as a source of primary taxonomic information for reference libraries of diatom barcodes 

      Rimet, Frédéric; Abarca, Nelida; Bouchez, Agnès; Kusber, Wolf-Henning; Jahn, Regine; Kahlert, Maria; Keck, François; Kelly, Martyn G.; Mann, David G.; Piuz, André; Trobajo, Rosa; Tapolczai, Kalman; Vasselon, Valentin; Zimmermann, Jonas (Fottea, 2018-02-27) Aigües Marines i Continentals
      Diatoms are used routinely to assess pollution level in rivers and lakes. Current methods are based on identification by light microscopy, which is laborious. An alternative is to identify species based ...
