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

Great post.
discovery of scientist in eDNA is a good news.
with eDNA we can know the various organisms that exist in a habitat. So at one time found fossils of mosquitoes trapped in the snow at the south pole we can know what animal was last sucked his blood. and we can traverse the life that exists through eDNA.
scientists can also use it to determine how many rhinoceroses rhinoceros in the area of ​​native habitat, or look for the existence of Sumatran tigers and Javan tigers that have been declared extinct or almost extinct.
thus we can be more conscious and aware of the environmental sustainability and cultivate a caring attitude to the diversity of living things around us.
i believe this invention is not a fiction and certain that will be very useful for us in the future

Yep, it will for sure we a useful technology. It would be really cool to see it used to find evidence of species that are believed to be extinct, but that would require a huge amount of luck to get a sample with their DNA in it.
