Queen's University Environmental DNA Workshop 2025
This eDNA workshop will provide a broad overview of the approaches used in eDNA studies for both single-species and multi-species detections. This five-day course will benefit those interested in undertaking or overseeing eDNA studies, or evaluating research proposals and research, especially in management and monitoring applications. The workshop includes lectures, field and lab demonstrations, and hands-on training in analysis and interpretation of data, but does require detailed knowledge of genetics or molecular biology.

An additional (elective) 1-day Nanopore workshop can be added to the workshop.
Nanopore sequencing is an emerging long-read sequencing technology that delivers unique opportunities in environmental DNA. Both portable and with a low start-up cost, nanopore reads can provide enhanced species identification, quick results, and potentially even genomics.
With the support of the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Oxford Nanopore, we are pleased to offer an optional one-day add-on to our eDNA workshop delivered by expert staff from Oxford Nanopore. Participants will use real samples collected by them earlier in the eDNA workshop and go through a Nanopore library prep and analysis workflow.
