Can carcasses cause environmental nucleic acid pollution? Implications for interpreting environmental RNA/DNA survey results

The paper investigates whether carcasses contribute to environmental RNA/DNA contamination and its implications for interpreting survey results.

Environmental RNA/DNA Metabarcoding for Ecological Risk Assessment of Chemicals Based on Response of Benthic Communities in Natural Environments

The paper estimates a safe concentration of LAS using eRNA metabarcoding to assess ecological risk, finding eRNA more sensitive than eDNA for detecting community changes.

Fish environmental RNA sequencing sensitively captures accumulative stress responses through short-term aquarium sampling

This study demonstrates that eRNA-seq from aquarium water can detect more differentially expressed genes and perform GO analysis, showing sensitivity to stress-related gene expression over time.
