Researchers have developed a method to measure coral biodiversity through extracting the environmental DNA (or eDNA) from a liter of surface seawater collected from above a reef. The method has been ...

The ability to extract trace bits of DNA from soil, water, and even air is revolutionizing science. But it's not foolproof. In the late 1980s, at a federal research facility in Pensacola, Florida, ...

Salmon lie on the deck of a commercial fishing boat. With refinements to eDNA tracking methods, researchers can now collect data about what fish were present in an area up to two days after the fish ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) tests can identify genetic material left by organisms in the environment, such as cells and ...

Air samples collected at pollution monitoring stations could provide a treasure trove of data on plant and animal life thanks to new environmental DNA methods. Environmental DNA (eDNA) comes from shed ...

Over 60 animal species in three days. That is how many mammals, birds and amphibians researchers found DNA traces from in the air in a Danish forest. The results can pave the way for a new and ...
