Improved biomonitoring of urban freshwater ecosystems using DNA barcodes

该项目旨在以较低的成本提供对水生生态系统环境变化的快速诊断检测。下一代测序(NGS)可以通过识别多个生物样本中的许多物种来改变对水生生态系统的监测。该项目旨在利用NGS技术识别城市淡水生态系统中的大型无脊椎动物物种作为生物指标，以提供比传统方法更快速、更灵敏和更具成本效益的监测。该项目使用识别物种的DNA条形码来检测经过NGS处理的样本中的物种。该项目还计划使用之前收集的样本来探索物种多样性和检测指示物种。

This project aims to provide rapid diagnostic detection of environmental change in aquatic ecosystems at reduced cost. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can transform monitoring of aquatic ecosystems by identifying many species in multiple biological samples. This project aims to use NGS technology to identify macroinvertebrate species as biological indicators in urban freshwater ecosystems to provide more rapid, sensitive and cost-effective monitoring compared to traditional methods. The project uses DNA barcodes that identify species to detect species in samples processed with NGS. The project also plans to use previously collected samples to explore species diversity and detect indicator species.
