'Insect soup' holds DNA key for monitoring biodiversity




Scientists at the University of East Anglia have shown that sequencing the DNA of crushed up creepy crawlies can accelerate the monitoring and cataloging of biodiversity around the world. Research published today shows that a process known as "metabarcoding" is much faster than and just as reliable as standard biodiversity datasets assembled with traditional labor-intensive methods.
