Summary
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) methods is a rapidly advancing field that provides fast, cost-effective, non-invasive methods to identify the presence of target species. These methods can be used, for example, to screen for pest species as part of biosecurity measures and risk management, to screen for threatened species as part of development requirements, or for biodiversity monitoring. In an operational context, high-quality standard assurance requirements are needed to ensure that assays and protocols deliver reliable results across multiple applications and purposes.
