The Ocean Molecular Ecology Program develops, advances, and adopts molecular methods to push the boundaries of molecular ecology science. We lead the development of eDNA data management standards, best practices, tools, and data management systems. This enables high-quality eDNA data provisioning, integration, interoperability, and synthesis.
