The slides from Jesse Ausubel’s lecture on
Marine biodiversity revealed by extracellular DNA in seawater
are posted at the site of the conference celebrating the 70th birthday of Russia’s Shirshov Institute of Oceanology. Thanks to Mark Stoeckle, who leads PHE’s eDNA work.
East River eDNA
Mark Stoeckle’s work using environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect fish in and around New York City is featured on NYU’s ScienceLine. By analyzing the tiny bits of DNA fish and other animals leave behind in the water, the eDNA approach gives a new way to monitor the fish and aquatic mammals including whales and dolphins in our local waters.
