Geneticist extracts DNA from samples to detect fungal pathogen
Geneticist extracts DNA from samples to detect fungal pathogenGeneticist, Kylle Roy, extracts DNA from samples to detect Ceratocystis, a fungal pathogen that causes Rapid Ohia Death. Samples have been acquired using aerial spore traps, by collecting wood shavings from ohia trees, or by collecting frass (excrement) of wood-boring beetles.
