Notre Dame study reveals that particle size matters for environmental DNA monitoring
University of Notre Dame scientists have now published the first detailed investigation of just how small (or big) environmental DNA, or eDNA, particles really are, and their results provide important guidance for all eDNA monitoring programs. Like investigators combing a crime scene for DNA traces from suspects or victims, ecologists now apply similar...
