In collaboration with the droplet microfluidics group from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), SciLife lab Stockholm, the Ettema - lab has published a new paper about reducing bias in whole genome amplification reactions of low biomass samples for metagenomic analyses. (ettemalab.org)
Forests are affected by other human activities such as farming or logging, and many are in a stage of ecological succession with lower biomass compared to mature forests. (sciencedaily.com)
Ultimately overfishing may lead to depletion in cases of subsidised fishing, low biological growth rates and critical low biomass levels. (sciencedaily.com)
