Article Synopsis
- Invasive Asian bighead and silver carp are threatening North American aquatic ecosystems, particularly as they move toward the Great Lakes.
- The study focused on creating new, species-specific PCR markers to effectively detect these carp species through environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling.
- The newly developed markers showed high specificity and sensitivity, outperforming existing markers, and could streamline eDNA monitoring, ultimately aiding in tracking the carp's invasion.
