Dublin is known as a city where you can enjoy a few indicators of guinea, welcome locals and listen to traditional traditional traditional music outside the pubs and in the city’s air.
But it is not just the air that swimming on the air. Dublin air contains hemp, poppy, even magic mushrooms – at least their DNA.
This is in accordance with a new research that shows the strength of DNA, standing through the air, which can detect everything from ridiculous bobcats to illegal drugs.
“The information available in Environmental DNA is just starting to consider that from humans to wildlife, from humans to wildlife, which may have potential applications for human health. “
Located in the UF’s Vatney Laboratory for Marine Bio Science, Duffy’s lab developed new ways to understand environmental DNA to study marine turtle genetics, also known as the EDNA. They have increased tools to study every species from DNA caught in environmental patterns like water, soil and sand.
But these wrong routes of DNA do not just flow with mud or rivers. The air itself is affected by genetic material. A simple air filter that runs for hours, days or weeks can take almost every species of symbols that grow or rotate nearby.
“When we started, it seemed that it would be difficult to get a large piece of DNA from the air, but it is not so. We are really getting a lot of information DNA.” “This means that you can study these species without direct bothering them, without seeing them. This opens up a huge possibility to study all the species in an area simultaneously, to boobs and humans like humans, and everything between it.”
As proof of concept, researchers have shown that they can choose hundreds of different human pathogens from Dublin Air, including viruses and bacteria. Such monitoring can help scientists detect emerging diseases. Scientists have discovered that the same method can be more clearly detected, more clearly than that time, such as peanuts or jirgas.
In another test of EDNA strength, Duffy’s lab was also able to identify the origin of the lab bobcats and spiders, whose DNA was erected in the Florida jungle. With a slight higher than the air filter, scientists can detect the risk species and identify where they come from, without looking at the skaten animals or connecting the jungle floor for skate samples. When you try to save and protect the life of the forest, knowing where the animal comes from can be as important as knowing where it is currently.
This powerful analysis was folded with impressive speed and performance. The team showed that the same researcher could process DNA for each species, which could use compact, affordable equipment, and host software in a day. This rapid change is a faster order than it was possible a few years ago and launched modern environmental studies for more scientists around the world. The same tools can identify potentially sensitive human genetic data, which is why Duffy and its colleagues have demanded ethical guards for the EDNA’s rapidly developing field.
“This science looks like a fiction, but it is becoming the reality of science,” said Duffy. “This technology is eventually similar to the scale of environmental problems.”
