Sequencing the wild: unlocking animal and marine metagenomes with Oxford Nanopore

Environmental DNA (eDNA) and metagenomics are transforming how we study biodiversity, revealing hidden animal and marine communities, without the need for direct observation.

In this on-demand video, hear from Kobun Truelove and Ariel Rabines, who are applying Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology in the field, to unlock new insights into marine biology and animal metagenomics. They share real-world case studies, from eDNA collection in diverse environments, to generating biodiversity and genomic data. An Oxford Nanopore expert also provides an overview of the platform, highlighting how portable, real-time sequencing is making it easier than ever to track species, explore ecosystems, and drive conservation research.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Best practices for eDNA collection in diverse ecosystems and optimising workflows
• How nanopore sequencing powers real-time species detection, population genetics, and ecosystem monitoring
• Why portable, easy-to-use nanopore devices are transforming eDNA and metagenomics research in the lab and the field
