An Unexpected Lichen, in Name and in Fact

ESP version ITA version

You are walking along trails you’ve hiked dozens of times when suddenly, you start wondering about the greenish-gray crusts on trees you often pass by. Equipped with paper bags, always handy in a professional lichenologist’s backpack, you begin sampling carefully. You send the samples to a colleague for a more precise identification and—surprise, surprise—four of them turn out to be completely different from the others.

At first, you classify these samples under the genus Lepraria due to some similarities, such as the very fine thallus that crumbles into granules. However, something feels off. You soon realize that these four specimens are not as green as you initially thought. Their crust has a bluish tint, with shades between turquoise and dark aqua-green—something neither of you had ever seen in any other lichen before. Not only that, but molecular analyses on the extracted DNA sequences place the specimens in another genus, Leprocaulon to be precise, without matching any previously sequenced species.

The plot thickens, and your research group expands. You decide to involve other experts to sequence the DNA from a larger sample size beyond the initial four specimens. More samples are collected, and now you are anxiously awaiting the results, as if you were waiting for the outcome of a paternity test.

And finally, what you had hoped for—but were hesitant to say out loud—becomes reality: you have just discovered a new species of lichen for Italy! But there’s more: the symbiotic alga—since lichens are living beings mainly composed of a symbiosis between a cyanobacterium (or an alga) and a fungus—also turns out to be new to science and belongs to the genus Symbiochloris!

Now comes the challenge of choosing a name. Since the first specimens were collected in the Ticino Valley, the research team initially leaned toward Leprocaulon ticinense. However, you—the lichenologist who first collected them—decide to take another walk, this time in Val Camonica. And what do you find on a chestnut tree? That same bluish lichen, in a completely different habitat. The initial name is thus discarded, and given the constant surprises this tiny living organism has provided and continues to provide, there is only one possible choice: Leprocaulon inexpectatum.

This discovery proves that, despite environmental degradation, there are still islands of biodiversity that persist and hold surprises. And who knows? Maybe the next new species is just waiting to be found by you, on one of your usual trails!

See You Soon, and Good Science!

New genetic markers have been produced as a result of recent research and they have the potential to address some significant shortcomings in DNA profiling techniques. In addition, several developments allow new kinds of relevant information to be obtained from biological samples. These include new molecular techniques for locating individuals that investigators were previously unaware of, and novel molecular approaches to support connections between criminal acts and sample donors. Such advancements in genomics, genetics and molecular biology are expected to enhance human forensic casework in the coming years. Advancements in technology have helped scientists create DNA fingerprints with smaller samples of DNA, therefore a suspect can be identified from a small amount of blood sample.

Next-generation Sequencing (NGS) offers results quickly and at a lower cost than other conventional techniques. Accordingly, to improve DNA testing accuracy, the number of regions used in STR analysis increased from 13 to 20 in 2017. In February 2022, researchers from the University of Washington along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security used DNA testing of ivory shipments confiscated by law enforcement to identify the global criminal groups involved in ivory smuggling out of Africa. The kits & consumables product segment captured the highest revenue share in 2021 due to the high public & private investments in the development of DNA forensics.

The consumables include centrifuge tubes, cotton swabs, and filter baskets among others. The capillary electrophoresis method segment dominated the industry in 2021. Capillary electrophoresis is a fully automated technique used for detecting and separating Short Tandem Repeat (STR) alleles in genomic laboratories. Criminal testing was the largest application segment in 2021 owing to the increasing use of molecular testing technology for criminal investigation. North America dominated the global industry in 2021 due to various technological developments in the forensic sciences and growing investigation consent for forensic processes, such as biometric analysis methods and DNA profiling.

DNA Sequencing

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) in a DNA molecule. It plays a critical role in understanding the genetic makeup of organisms and has wide-ranging applications in genetics, medicine, biotechnology, and forensic science.

Types of DNA Sequencing Techniques:

Sanger Sequencing:

Developed by Frederick Sanger in the 1970s, it uses chain termination methods to determine DNA sequences.

Despite being slower than newer methods, it is still widely used for smaller DNA fragments due to its high accuracy.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS):

A high-throughput method that can sequence millions of DNA fragments simultaneously.

Faster, cheaper, and more efficient than Sanger sequencing, making it suitable for large-scale projects like whole-genome sequencing.

Third-Generation Sequencing (TGS):

Includes techniques like Single-Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing and nanopore sequencing.

TGS allows for longer read lengths, providing better insights into structural variations and complex regions of the genome.

Applications of DNA Sequencing:

Genomics: Whole-genome sequencing to study genetic variation and hereditary traits.

Medicine: Precision medicine, where DNA sequencing is used to personalize treatment plans based on a patient's genetic makeup.

Cancer Research: Identifying mutations that drive cancer and developing targeted therapies.

Forensics: DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes or establish familial relationships.

Agricultural Biotechnology: Improving crop varieties and livestock through genetic insights.

Challenges and Future Directions:

While DNA sequencing has become more accessible due to decreasing costs, challenges remain in analyzing and interpreting large volumes of genomic data. Advances in bioinformatics, AI, and machine learning are helping to overcome these obstacles. The future of DNA sequencing holds potential for faster, more accurate, and cost-effective sequencing with applications in areas such as synthetic biology, population genetics, and personalized healthcare.
