As mentioned in the previous Lab Note, we have started to use qPCR to evalutate different sampling methods. We first developed qPCR primers using Primer Blast for Aurelia aurita (moon jellies, our...

We've had some solid progress, and we've run into some thorny issues that we need to solve in order to complete the vision for field detectable jellyfish. That's what innovation is all about.First...

At this point in the project, we'd planned to be developing, testing and characterizing LAMP primers for the detection of C. quinquecirrha (or C. chesapeakii). It seems Nature has other plans - thi...

The Field Ready eDNA Assay uses isothermal DNA amplification to amplify the eDNA that we are looking for in the sample. LAMP is the preferred amplification method, and it requires the reaction cham...
