The ocean in a cup: Environmental DNA successfully captures marine biodiversity

Measuring marine biodiversity with “environmental DNA”—an application of gene sequencing to environmental biology—should permit rapid assessment of changes in marine life. That makes environmental DNA (eDNA) a critical tool for managing our response to climate change. But eDNA only works well if key implementation steps are followed, according to a new study of the Los Angeles and Long Beach area published in the journal PeerJ.
