CLP 7 EN Exam

The achievements of the eDNA approach in ancient ecosystems contribute to describing past biodiversity and shed light on macroorganisms' evolution history.

Which of the following is part of future trends in environmental bioinformatics?

Which statement regarding the industrial application of environmental bioinformatics is correct?

Genomic and metagenomic data are not relevant to environmental research.

eDNA metabarcoding comprises taking environmental samples, extracting RNA, amplifying it through PCR with general or universal primers, and sequencing the amplification product through NGS to generate a huge amount of raw sequencing data.

Which of the following IS NOT a protocol’s error-prone step:

The relatively fast dispersion and low concentration of aquatic eDNA make the traditional methods for microbial species assessment in aquatic samples simple.

The development of innovative biosensors for the differentiation of light and heavy lanthanides (Ln) is based on the combination of the following omics approaches:

Environmental epigenetics studies based on simple epidemiological models are sufficient to conclusively prove a causal link between air pollution and epigenetic changes.

Metagenomics is a comprehensive approach to studying microbial communities through the analysis of genetic material obtained directly from environmental samples, without the need to cultivate specific species.
