Beautiful eight lake photos from our study area <3
New preprint alert 📢
We present a dataset of modern hydrochemistry, macrophyte diversity, and discuss the relationships to the surrounding terrestrial environment from 66 climate-sensitive lakes from Yakutia💧

🥼After extracting the #sedDNA, we’re moving on to DNA library preparation—a key step in #metagenomic #shotgun-sequencing.🌋🧬
DNA libraries are sets of DNA fragments prepared with special adapters so they can be sequenced on the #Illumina platform.

Exciting progress! We’ve collected many new sediment cores from volcanic lakes #Nemi and #Martignano to deepen our understanding of ancient #envDNA, #sedDNA, and #biodiversity.
Advancing the #PRIN2022 #VOLARE project on #volcanic #lakes ecology! 🌋🧬🌿
April 2023
Only few days left to apply! We're looking for a postdoc to join our team in #Rome #Sapienza, working on ancient #envDNA & #sedDNA to assess #volcanic #lakes #biodiversity – project #PRIN2022. 📅 Deadline: 13/04.

🔍 a nice discovery at Lake #Monticchio second drilling: we found a #CO2 bubble trapped in the sediments! How to make it disappear? A small hole and voilà! 💧🌍 #ScientificDiscovery #InnovationSolution #PRIN2022 #VOLARE 💸 #project #sedDNA #lake #sediments

Again 🔬 exciting news from #Monticchio! 🇮🇹
We successfully drilled 7 surface cores from Lago Grande. #sedDNA will fuel pioneering metabarcoding and metagenomics studies! 🧬🌊 #PRIN2022 project VOLARE
Stay tuned!
October 2023
More ℹ️ from our kick-off meeting: our project tackles the #EU Water Framework Directive challenge for Italy's volcanic lakes: traditional methods are costly; we’re pioneering solutions using #metabarcoding & #hybridization #capture on #sedDNA
Stay tuned for ecological breakthroughs! 🌊🔬
October 2023: 🚀 Exciting News from #Monticchio!!
We kicked-off our #PRIN2022 🔬 project VOLARE which introduces innovative #sedDNA solutions, paleolimnological methods, ecological surveys on central and southern Italy's volcanic lake sediments.
