How much biodiversity is actually floating in the air above a forest? Last summer we ran a tropical–temperate forest comparison
At Jonah, we typically provide our aquatic eDNA clients with 1 µm nylon filters. But what a “1 µm filter”
How much water should I sample for fish eDNA? How many replicates do I need? What’s the best way to
Environmental monitoring underpins conservation, infrastructure planning, climate adaptation, and risk assessment. Without reliable data on biodiversity, we are making billion-dollar
In our last post, we briefly explored what Jonah’s current analytical capacity of 100k samples a year could accomplish if
At Jonah, we can comfortably process and analyze for metabarcoding 100,000 samples a year. An interesting thought experiment is if
