Quantitative DNA Metabarcoding of Pollen Grant Funded

Our work to make pollen metabarcoding quantitative has been funded for three years, starting at the end of September 2017, by the Army Research Office (ARO). Berry is the lead on this grant, with co-PIs Karen Bell and Tim Read. The ultimate goal of this work is to produce a next-generation sequencing pipeline for pollen metabarcoding that incorporates dynamic quantitative corrections. We will be seeking a bioinformatics / statistics post-doc for this work, to begin in early 2018.
