Project: DNA-BASED KIT FOR BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENTS AND BIOMONITORING OF EUROPEAN WATER BODIES
| Acronym | BIOWAT-KIT (Reference Number: 11892) |
| Duration | 01/07/2018 |
| Project Topic | To validate a novel genomic tool for the identification of European freshwater macroinvertebrates and to develop a kit for its standard application in biodiversity assessments. To demonstrate the environmental and economic advantages of this approach instead of using current assessments based on morpho-taxonomy. As an outcome of the project, a low-cost and fast DNA-based kit for routine application in biodiversity assessments and biomonitoring of European water bodies will be delivered. |
