DNA Barcodes
DNA barcodes are short, standardized DNA sequences unique to each species, much like product barcodes in a store. These genetic "fingerprints" enable species identification, even from small or incomplete samples.
Environmental DNA (eDNA)
Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to genetic material shed by organisms into their surroundings through skin cells, mucus, feces, or other biological materials. It enables species detection without direct observation.
