Sampling DNA from air tells surprising things about animals

Показать описание
An upcoming technique for wildlife and environmental monitoring is the collection of environmental DNA or eDNA. This can be captured through a number of methods including by sampling the air around where animals move. ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh explains findings from Denmark and UK where researchers sampled the air in and around zoos to find a surprising windfall of genetic information, including that of animals not in the zoo as well as dead meat.

So 4 minutes and 27 seconds into the 6 minute 20 seconds you finally get to the point.
Now I remember why I didn't like school.

Interesting:

I think they should investigate if they could identify suspects using eDNA from a crime scene. It could also make a great crime patrol/CID/CSI episode 😅
Another use case could be to map animal species in a forests and hard to reach areas using drone based sample collection.

I have questions
1. How does guppy DNA end up being airborne?
2. When did Sandhya Ramesh turn from a science geek into a Korean pop star!
