The paper presents a CRISPR-based biosurveillance platform for detecting invasive rats, achieving species-specific discrimination and high sensitivity.

The paper evaluates four environmental RNA sampling methods for detecting avian influenza viruses in urban waterfowl ponds over a year, finding they detected AIV but with asynchronous results likely due to low viral concentrations.

This study evaluates the GeneXpert II platform for rapid influenza A virus detection in environmental and wildlife samples at a New Zealand seabird colony, demonstrating its feasibility for early warning surveillance.

This study evaluates non-destructive eDNA extraction from ethanol preservatives in Antarctic filter-feeding museum specimens, finding that ethanol filtration performs as well as tissue biopsies for metabarcoding fish eDNA.

The paper develops CORSAIR, a CRISPR-based environmental biosurveillance system using AI-designed guide-RNAs for rapid, field-deployable eDNA detection of invasive species.

The paper shows that polyphenols in dried macroalgal DNA inhibit Oxford Nanopore sequencing, reducing yield and pore availability.

The paper recovers historical environmental DNA (heDNA) from Antarctic sponge specimens to reconstruct past fish biodiversity and community composition.

This paper describes a protocol for simultaneous detection of coding and non-coding transcripts using modified RNA-Seq techniques, showing high efficiency in rRNA depletion and accurate transcript quantification.
