DNA provides valuable insights about biodiversity
🌿 Many species are facing extinction, posing a threat to our ecosystems. To tackle this, we must adopt more environmentally friendly habits and engage in environmental protection.
⛰ But how can we better understand the state of our environment? One fascinating method is studying environmental DNA (eDNA).
🔬 By analyzing DNA left behind by plants and animals, we can monitor biodiversity and determine which species have visited an area.
🧬eDNA analysis has numerous advantages, such as being non-evasive, applicable in various ecosystems, and allowing for autonomous sample collection. It's an accurate and efficient way to identify species.
