Rapid DNA analysis
can help in tracking the routes of illegal ivory trade and protecting elephants and are more effective if done locally
The use of Environmental DNA
lets us obtain thousands of sequences simultaneously and analyzing species diversity with unprecedented speed if the analyses are done locally
Phylogenetic reconstruction
DNA analyses allow phylogenetic reconstruction of organisms and help to understand their history and relationships
History of life
DNA of species with a very long evolutionary history contains unique information of the history of life on our Planet
The DNA of the Peringuey's adder
tells us about the history and age of the Namib Desert in Southern Africa
The DNA of the African frog
Leptopelis parkeri could unveil unexpected information on its evolution and helps conservation of forest amphibians in Tanzania
DNA analyses
help in elucidating the relationships between different organisms and help in understanding complex interactions
Conservation planning
DNA allows us to distinguish between very similar species and helps in conservation planning
