Comparison of DNA Extraction Methods for Detecting the Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris ) in Marine Sediments

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) holds promise for improving our understanding of historical species occurrences and contemporary biomonitoring. We evaluate the efficacy of sedDNA methods to detect the presence of a patchily distributed marine mammal, the sea otter. Using a targeted qPCR assay, we compared four sedDNA extraction techniques and two DNA cleaning
