    • Analysing diet of small herbivores : the efficiency of DNA barcoding coupled with high-throughput pyrosequencing for deciphering the composition of complex plant mixtures 

      Valentini, Alice; Soininen, Eeva Marjatta; Coissac, Eric; Ims, Rolf Anker; Miquel, Christian; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Gielly, Ludovic; Brochmann, Christian; Brysting, Anne K.; Sønstebø, Jørn H.; Taberlet, Pierre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-08-20)
      Background: In order to understand the role of herbivores in trophic webs, it is essential to know what they feed on. Diet analysis is, however, a challenge in many small herbivores with a secretive life style. In this paper, we compare novel (high-throughput pyrosequencing) DNA barcoding technology for plant mixture with traditional microhistological method. We analysed stomach contents of two ...

    • Comprehensive coverage of human last meal components revealed by a forensic DNA metabarcoding approach 

      Schneider, Judith; Mas-Carrió, Eduard; Jan, Catherine; Miquel, Christian; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; Michaud, Katarzyna; Fumagalli, Luca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-23)
      Stomach content analyses are a valuable tool in human forensic science to interpret perimortem events. While the identifcation of food components of plant and animal origin has traditionally been conducted by macro- and microscopical approaches in case of incomplete digestion, molecular methods provide the potential to increase sensitivity and taxonomic resolution. In particular, DNA metabarcoding ...

    • Individual genotypes from environmental DNA: Fingerprinting snow tracks of three large carnivore species 

      De Barba, Marta; Baur, Molly; Boyer, Frédéric; Fumagalli, Luca; Konec, Marjeta; Miquel, Christian; Pazhenkova, Elena; Remollino, Nadège; Skrbinšek, Tomaž; Stoffel, Céline; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)
      Continued advancements in environmental DNA (eDNA) research have made it possible to access intraspecific variation from eDNA samples, opening new opportunities to expand non-invasive genetic studies of wildlife populations. However, the use of eDNA samples for individual genotyping, as typically performed in non-invasive genetics, still remains elusive. We present successful individual genotyping ...
