Spiked qPCR primary analysis
August 11, 2025
This script is for analyzing raw eDNA qPCR data. It is designed to efficiently concatenate qPCR data from multiple plates exported as *.csv files. It will assist with completing several QA/QC checks and output documentation of these checks as well as helpful files for further review.

Evaluation of rapid DNA extraction methods to better enable point-of-use environmental DNA detection Evaluation of rapid DNA extraction methods to better enable point-of-use environmental DNA detection
Recent developments in molecular testing have created the opportunity for biologists and managers to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) of target species rapidly and without the requirement of a laboratory. These point-of-use protocols may be especially useful for early detection and rapid response for invasive species or surveillance for at-risk native species, where timely management...
