Environmental DNA can be used to solve all sorts of cases through the powers of detection—that is, detecting different species in an ecosystem—and this is just the beginning of what eDNA might be capable of. Can we push this work into unknown waters to test new advances in eDNA technology?
From invasive crabs to lost whales, tapping into the world of environmental DNA can be the key to solving some of nature’s biggest riddles. Join us as we crack the code on nature and unlock mysteries in our newest series, The Nature Files.
