[Nhcoll-l] EDNA samples

[Mandy Reid]

I am wondering whether any museums are accepting EDNA (Environmental DNA) samples, such as water samples, animal scats etc., or whether you have been approached regarding storing such samples in museum collections?

Is this something that we should consider? It would be excellent if anyone is interested in a discussion around this as it is something Collections staff at the Australian Museum in Sydney have been approached about.

Cheers
Mandy
