Environmental DNA (eDNA)
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is organismal DNA that can be found in the environment. eDNA originates from cellular material shed by organisms (e.g., skin, hair, saliva, or feces) into aquatic and terrestrial environments. Researchers sample the air, soil, water or other areas to track or detect invasive, endangered, or rare species.
