Pre-Made Data Sets

Here are reference DNA libraries that have been generated outside of CaMDL for use in various eDNA applications. Each data set has it’s own specific taxonomic and genomic focus. Please make sure to read the information file about what taxa/amplicons are contained, and how each data set was generated and curated. **These data sets may not conform to all CaMDL standards.

CanFish

Custom DNA reference libraries for fish species in Canada for the 12S and 16S amplicons described in He et al., 2022 (link: https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cjfas-2021-0215). __________________________________________________________________________________ This library is focussed primarily on marine species in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans but also includes references for 143 freshwater and 203 species located in the Arctic region.
