Ancient and modern environmental DNA [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 DNA obtained from environmental samples such as sediments, ice or water (environmental DNA, eDNA), represents an important source of information on past and present biodiversity. It has revealed an ancient forest in Greenland, extended by several thousand years the survival dates for mainland woolly mammoth in Alaska, and pushed back the dates for ...

The Future of Environmental DNA in Forensic Science [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 DNA sequencing technologies continue to improve, and there has been a corresponding expansion of DNA-based applications in the forensic sciences. DNA recovered from dust and environmental debris can be used to identify the organisms associated with these sample types, including bacteria, plants, fungi, and insects. Such results can then be leveraged to

MiFish, a set of universal PCR primers for metabarcoding environmental DNA from fishes: detection of more than 230 subtropical marine species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 We developed a set of universal PCR primers (MiFish-U/E) for metabarcoding environmental DNA (eDNA) from fishes. Primers were designed using aligned whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences from 880 species, supplemented by partial mitogenome ...

Environmental DNA for improved detection and environmental surveillance of schistosomiasis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance Accurate detection and delineation of schistosomiasis transmission sites will be vital in ongoing efforts to control and ultimately eliminate one of the most neglected tropical parasitic diseases affecting >250 million people worldwide. Conventional methods to detect parasites in the environment are cumbersome and have
