Environmental DNA (eDNA) consists of genetic materials present in environmental samples, such as soil, water, and sediment,
derived from aquatic organisms and their traces, excretions, excrements, etc. Genetic monitoring describes quantitative analyses of
target species in eDNA using the real-time PCR (or qPCR) technique with the verified primer set and TaqMan probe having high specificity
and sensitivity. It is a highly cost-efficient, non-invasive, and environment-friendly methodology that aids scientists to monitor the presence
and quantity of endangered or rare species in the ecosystem. AquaGenTech provides genetic monitoring services with verified genetic markers from
eDNA samples and develops new genetic markers of target species for accurate and rapid detection.
