Demystifying eDNA validation

- Summary
- Subjects
- Metrics

Abstract

As environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches gain momentum for biodiversity analysis, validation becomes a key consideration. I focus on four facets of eDNA validation. Validation through technical processes, legal use, official statements, and 'good enough' scenarios can advance the field to aid societal issues such as climate emergency and biodiversity crisis.
