You Do a PCR which is a standard lab procedure to amplify DNA. The trick is that the DNA polymerase needs a fragment of DNA to start, which are called primers. These primers can be designed so that they specifically bind to a part of DNA that is exclusive to turtles. That way only your DNA of interest gets amplified.
How exactly would you search for the DNA of an animal that has never been reliably observed, much less genetically sequenced? You have to know what you're matching for...
I went to a lecture about this the University of Guelph Biodiversity Lab (where eDNA technology was originally developed) and this stuff is so amazing!
@@utahnl well, I would assume since the most common area Sasquatch "sightings" take place in are in Alpine forests in northwestern North America, & it's presumed to be some kind of great ape, scientists could just look for ape-like eDNA that isn't human.
Lord Kazurhix is right. If Sasquatch exists, and they found it's DNA, it would stand out. It would be immediately identified as an unknown hominid. It might return a result of: [ Unknown Hominid - Most closely related to Humans - Last Common Ancestor: 5 million years ago ]. Or maybe [ Unknown Hominid - Most closely related to Orangutans - Last Common Ancestor: 10 million years ago ]. It won't tell you how tall or big the animal is, or if it walked upright, but you would know there is (or was, since eDNA may last a long time) an unknown specie of Ape in the area. The lack of any such evidence is a VERY strong indicator that Sasquatch does not exist. Unless one accepts the supernatural. If Sasquatch is some sort of Shapeshifter 'Wizard' then I suppose it's DNA might be undistinguishable from human, it would be the DNA of the 'Wizard'.

Now bigfoot hunters will have to come up with a reason they can't find any eDNA from him. Or I guess they can say the found it, but can't show it to anyone for reasons.....
Danish biologist Eske Willerslev is a pioneer in this field, as he successfully showed that animal and plant eDNA could be analyzed from a mere 2 g of soil in 1999!
No, because people who believe it exists already argue that a lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack. We have more than enough evidence already to say it is extremely unlikely, but people will people.
Saw a bunch of those turtles when I was at Ft Lee, Va. But that was also 1987 so things could have changed. Bluegills are tasty critters so how about setting up a commercial fishing industry and manage them that way?
I guess It would taste similar to pig intestines, because our diggestive system it's similar to theirs in form and composition. And if you are curious, there's a typical spanish meal made with pig intestines, it's called "callos" and the meat it's very fatty, stretchy, chewy... It's a strange texture but it's an overall good meal
I'm English , where turtles are marine and have flippers and tortoises are terrestrial and have legs with feet.Americans seem to use the word turtle for both, and i presume, terrapins also. How did that happen?
They very much have, alot of DNA found is microbial but we simply can't grow the vast majority of microbes in a lab. This is known as "Microbial Dark Matter".
Why is there no such thing as perfect hiding? Answer. How would you know? Logically, if evolution were to perfect a creature whose primary skill were to hide from view, how could you know it existed? It could be with us every second and we would never know. How would you detect it, even sense it, except in those moments when, for no clear reason you choose to speak aloud? What would such a creature want? What would it do? Well? What would you do?
5:17 I know it is better to call species "cute" so they are attractive for the general populus, but seriously, if you think Aye-Ayes are cute, you should go get your eyes checked
Anyone else thinking they should e-DNA for things like the loch ness monster, and yeti, to put an end to the conspiracy groups by dispelling or proving them? Also, how would this technology be applied to finding unknown genomes?

Alright. Now we need to start testing the Great Lakes for bull sharks.
And we can finally test for NESSY

We soud get a bucket of void from the universe and look for some Alien eDNA
Technology is truly advancing!
Love his voice!
Relaxing!
Are you generally a fan of science?
Could you use this to find missing people??? I'm just asking!
Potentially. However the application into law enforcement would have alot of legal and ethical issues to be ironed out.
Even for emergencies.
When Mr Incredible hid behind the skeleton in the cave, the robot should have set its scanners to eDNA mode.
I puit alot of my EDNA in my tube socks in laundry
Glad we got onto this, we often follow nature to engineer science and now we can essentially smell like a dog to track things
Now bigfoot hunters will have to come up with a reason they can't find any eDNA from him. Or I guess they can say the found it, but can't show it to anyone for reasons.....
Who else thinks that this might be the perfect way to confirm the (non)existance of the Loch Ness monster?
Let's do it!
So what excuse will bigfoot hunters come up with after they can't find any strange hominid DNA?
Haha
Never heard anyone refer to an aye-aye as 'adorable' before. Interesting video though.
Danish biologist Eske Willerslev is a pioneer in this field, as he successfully showed that animal and plant eDNA could be analyzed from a mere 2 g of soil in 1999!
Super cool!!
Scientists will see lots of my eDNA that I flush down the toilet
Take a shot every time he says eDNA
What kind of primer did they use though???
Fascinating.
Have a great and wonderful day and life 😄

5:18 did he just call aye-ayes 'adorable'???
Science is now in EDNA mode.
I was fascinated by the idea... I listened very carefully... I did not see how this is useful.
I'll always enjoy watching guy with hair cut.
Nice one.
The Japanese have got their revenge with invasive fish in NA too.
So could eDNA be used to determine whether the Loch Ness Monster actually exists?
No, because people who believe it exists already argue that a lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack. We have more than enough evidence already to say it is extremely unlikely, but people will people.
They actually did that and found nothing
You could literally drain it of all water, and believers would still just say it went dormant under the mud.
Watch river monsters (jeremy wade)s explaination
I think its the most convincing theory about the monster
Saw a bunch of those turtles when I was at Ft Lee, Va. But that was also 1987 so things could have changed. Bluegills are tasty critters so how about setting up a commercial fishing industry and manage them that way?
While everyone is interested in trying to find nessie i would like to know if it could be possible to find some secluded population of thylocenes.
Q:(even though it might dark) does the human intestines taste similar to animal's intestines when we cook it?
I guess It would taste similar to pig intestines, because our diggestive system it's similar to theirs in form and composition.
And if you are curious, there's a typical spanish meal made with pig intestines, it's called "callos" and the meat it's very fatty, stretchy, chewy... It's a strange texture but it's an overall good meal
Interesting. Will they be able to they find the Lockless Monster's DNA and Big Foot' DNA too?
I actually have two Edna's on my street and I can spot them quite easily. No need to use special equipmentps.
I can't believe you think eye eyes are adorable...
If anyone needed eDNA from me just check the nearest tube sock under the bed

so could this be used to disprove the existence of nessie?
There is no disproving Nessie to most of the people who think it actually exists.
Do eDNA tests in Lake Loch Ness!
Or you could ask fisherman. Caught a bluegill the other day.
Have they found things they can't identify? BTW I am very good at sniffing out skunks.
