Introducing the IMOS Environmental DNA sub-Facility
A new Environmental DNA (eDNA) sub-Facility has been established, expanding IMOS’ capability to monitor marine biodiversity across Australia’s coastal and sub-Antarctic waters. All organisms leave traces of DNA in their environment, in seawater, sediments, or even the air. Analysing this environmental DNA (eDNA) through a process called metabarcoding allows researchers to identify multicellular organisms and…
