Cornwall ocean study highlights value of low-cost eDNA tests
Environmental DNA (eDNA) tests can identify genetic material left by organisms in the environment, such as cells and excrement, but surveys of ocean wildlife can be difficult and expensive, and standard eDNA tests are also costly.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) tests can identify genetic material left by organisms in the environment, such as cells and excrement, but surveys of ocean wildlife can be difficult and expensive, and standard eDNA tests are also costly. A new study carried out off Cornwall shows that low-cost DNA tests can reveal the range of wildlife living in our seas.
