Environmental DNA (eDNA)

Organisms leave behind trace amounts of DNA in their environments (similar to a human shedding skin cells), and sensitive DNA detection methods can extract and identify the presence or absence of organisms in an environment based on the DNA they leave behind. The Vulpe lab uses environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to identify the presence or absence of endangered species and invasive species in aquatic environments.
