Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) has become a powerful tool in paleoecology to reconstruct past changes in terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. Still, sedaDNA is an emerging tool and there is a need for calibrations and validations to ensure the reliability of sedaDNA as a proxy to reconstruct past biota. One way to pursue this goal is by unifying the sedaDNA scientific community.

Next month (28th April) at European Geosciences Union - EGU, Eric Capo together with NEEDED participants will discuss tools and ideas that could be used to increase the visibility of sedaDNA research by the scientific community.
