Multiplex eDNA assays for early warning system to detect invasive species

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

The project aims at developing and validating multiplex environmental DNA (eDNA) assays for monitoring aquatic ecosystems. This proof of concept study will use the real-time multiplexing platform for early detection of aquatic invasive alien species (IAS), which represent a major threat to native plants and animals. Our eDNA assays will provide environmental managers with rapid, cost-effective and sensitive tools for IAS monitoring that will replace traditional methods.
