Surveillance of fish species composition using environmental DNA

Toshifumi Minamoto, Hiroki Yamanaka, Teruhiko Takahara et al. · 2 Nov 2011

Prompt and accurate methods for assessing the species composition of given areas are indispensable in addressing the rapid loss of biodiversity. Here, we propose a method for the surveillance of fish species composition in freshwater using environmental DNA as species markers. First, the applicability of the method was demonstrated through aquarium experiments. DNA was extracted…

A simple method for preserving environmental DNA in water samples at ambient temperature by addition of cationic surfactant

Hiroki Yamanaka, Toshifumi Minamoto, Junichi Matsuura et al. · 19 Nov 2016

Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a powerful tool within ecology for the study of the distribution or abundance of aquatic species, although the simplification of water sampling is required for enabling light and fast field sampling to expand further application of eDNA analysis. Here, certain candidate chemicals belonging to the group of cationic surfactants were…
