Dear all,
Please note this upcoming eDNA webinar!

--- Dear recipient,
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar titled: "Environmental DNA Webinar: Current Practices and prospects for Data Handling"
Date: 14.11.2024 Time: 9:00-11:30 Platform: zoom link will be sent upon registration (registration link https://ssl.eventilla.com/event/Bg8Ep )
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is fast becoming a mainstream method in environmental monitoring, but we still lack commonly shared solutions for data management on the national level in the international context. In this webinar, we will explore the current practices in eDNA data handling from two organizations: Finnish Environment Institute, SYKE and Natural Resources Institute Finland - Luke. Our expert speakers will share their experiences, challenges, and successes in managing and utilizing eDNA data.
In the later part of the webinar, representatives from ELIXIR Finland (represented by CSC) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (and the Finnish node represented by the Finnish Museum of Natural History - Luomus) will discuss the available services and data publishing channels that can facilitate broader access and collaboration in this field.
Agenda:
9:00-9:10 Opening words: The "Big Picture" and Scope of the Webinar: Hanna Koivula (CSC) 9:10-9:50 Bioinformatics - the molecular data life-cycle: data providers view point; What kind of data and where: Data types, laboratory workflows, needed tools, data storage, standards, publishing
* Current practices from Luke, Frank Panitz
* Current practices from SYKE, Tiina Laamanen and Veera Norros
9:50-10:00 Short break
10:00-10:20 What is ELIXIR and how would an Elixir Biodiversity Community serve Finnish research? Riku Riski, Elixir Finland
10:20-10:40 GBIF's eDNA/Metabarcoding Data Programme
* The Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility: Will Morris (GBIF Finland/Finnish Museum of Natural History) * The Global Biodiversity Information Facility and eDNA/Metabarcoding data pipelines and tools: Tobias Frøslev (GBIF secretariat)
10:40 - 11:30 Discussion and wrap-up on how to proceed
This webinar offers a unique opportunity to enhance your understanding of eDNA research and the resources available to support your work.
