RE: Scientists have a new tool to identified species; by sequencing environmental DNA (eDNA) to find all the species that lives in the environment

in #science6 years ago

Amazing tool to find EDNA and it's already producing a great result. Marine life is still un discover able. The way the tool helps to detect 16 species of shark from 22 water sample is an amazing figure when consider that result of 22 sample is more informative than 3,000 dive and 400 baited videos. It will not save a lot of money but hopefully the tool will become better with new advancement and give fruit full result for conservation of nearly extinct species.

It should also be useable for doing things such as finding out if your house is infected by a species of bugs or another pest animal that is difficult to directly observe.

Indeed a handy tool for better human health. Hopefully the tool will bring revolution in ecologists and conservationists life. Thanks for sharing @valth
