Tender description
Natural England is interested in the efficacy of DNA sequencing and how it compares to hand identification of invertebrates. Invertebrate samples collected using Natural England survey protocols will be analysed using appropriate DNA techniques, to provide a comparison to traditional techniques (data will be supplied). Information will be collected to ascertain the following for each of the two methods: • How reliable and accurate is the DNA species identification? • How much does each method cost (in time and money)? • How long does the identification process take? • Can abundance be inferred as part of DNA sequencing? In addition, the following questions should be addressed: • How reliable is BOLD, or other databases available to the contractor, for undertaking invertebrate identification? A reference collection will not be made available. • Is there a need to review collection and storage methods for DNA sequencing of terrestrial invertebrates?
