AIM

We are currently developing new projects which will aim to improve and refine the metabarcoding approach for yeast cultures further by testing additional genetically diverse regions, such as internal transcribed spacers (e.g. ITS1)... It was also Goethe who recognized biodiversity as a whole with the sentence "The fleas and the bugs also belong to the whole". Biodiversity, the diversity of species, consists not only of the diversity of individual focus groups, but mostly of unnoticed and difficult or unidentifiable species. The AIM team strives for a holistic biodiversity monitoring 2.0 in the digital age - a collection of all occurring species. It is vital for conservation that the status quo of all species can be captured in their current state to better protect them... Therefore, the tinder fungus and the associated diversity of arthropods have been investigated in a recent study by Friess et al. (2018). AIM supported this study with their DNA metabarcoding service.
