Thanks to @vicgbuswell in the audience, photographic proof that I was in Inverness last week presenting at the #UKDNAWG24 meeting - the conference programme is on https://www.ukeof.org.uk/our-work/ukdna/2024-ukdnawg-conf as a PDF.

The tables of in-silico primer amplification versus taxononomic lineage shown were generated with https://github.com/peterjc/picobio/blob/master/primer_selection/isPcr_lineage_report.py and sister scripts. This was work done for a #NaturalEngland project, looking at #metabarcoding primer biases for terrestrial invertebrates - release of formal report pending.

After all the great talks at #UKDNAWG24 about #eDNA, many of which featured the MetaProbe v2 3D printed water sampling device https://github.com/GiuliaMaiello/Metaprobe-2.0 - I can’t look at these urinal cake holders the same way 😂

Apparently people are using #UKDNAWG24 on Twitter but nothing came up on my Mastodon search 😞

In #Inverness at #UHIInverness for 10th UK DNA Working Group conference, #UKDNAWG24 - sadly I have no wifi in the front of the auditorium (eduroam failing for me), and barely any mobile phone signal too
