eDNA Viewer
eDNA Viewer is eDNA Frontiers’ online application that allows users to view datasets and display results in various formats.
This app has been designed to be used by members of the public as well as scientific researchers. It brings together data generated across hundreds of projects, giving users the ability to interogate , integrate, and display taxonomic detections from multiple projects all in one place.
See our video navigating the eDNA Viewer as well as our FAQ section below.
FAQs
There are two levels of access to this app – public and private
Public projects are openly accessible to anyone visiting the app, offering basic functionality such as taxa searches without requiring a login via the sample page.
Private projects have been processed by eDNA Frontiers but not yet released to the public by their owners. Logged-in users can access their private data along with expanded functionality via the project page, such as graph and tree building.
If you have completed a project with us and would like an eDNA Viewer account to access your data online, please email us at ednafrontiers@curtin.edu.auÂ
If you have not opted to make your data publicly accessible, only you (or those you specify) will be able to access your data through the Viewer login.
All of our tables and graphs can be downloaded from the Viewer. You can even choose whether to download the filtering parameters used to generate the data, so you don’t forget!
Any user with a login can give permission for one (or all) of their projects to be shared with someone else. Just email us at ednafrontiers@curtin.edu.au and let us know which projects you would like to assign to another user.
Work is also underway on enabling data to be shared with global databases like GBIF or OBIS. When this is ready we will be in contact with all users of the eDNA Viewer if they wish to know more.
We encourage all of our users to make their data publicly accessible. If you have completed a project with us and would like to release your data onto our Public platform, please email us at ednafrontiers@curtin.edu.au and let us know!
