A Genomic‐Based Workflow for eDNA Assay Development for a Critically Endangered Turtle, Myuchelys georgesi

ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has become a popular conservation tool for detecting rare and elusive species. eDNA assays typically target mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) due to its high copy number per cell and its ability to persist in the environment longer than nuclear DNA. Consequently, t...
