Welcome to the METABARPARK Project website. The project aims to apply the new high throughput sequencing technologies to characterize benthic communities in the Spanish Marine National Parks using environmental DNA (metabarcoding). Our main objective is to characterize the hidden biodiversity which is usually overlooked by traditional methods. We will also try to assess the community impacts of invasive seaweeds.

Project Metabarpark in IRBio Seminars

Project Metabarpark will be present in the talk session hosted by IRBio (Institute for Research in Biodiversity) at the School of Biology of the University of Barcelona, this Thursday 26th of November.

Xavier Turon will talk about "Biodiversity crisis and the taxonomic impediment: what the metabarcoding of communities has to offer" and Owen Wangensteen will follow with a talk about "Metabarcoding of marine hard-bottom communities, the unseen biodiversity".

The entrance is free and you are all invited!
