eDNA frontiers specialises in advanced metabarcode sequencing techniques to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) and providing leading biodiversity audit services to biomonitoring requirements. Recipients receive simultaneous identifications of entire communities across taxonomic groups, giving rise to greater interpretive power for decision-making. Our experience spans multiple application fields including the oil/gas and minerals sector, environmental impact assessments, conservation and fisheries monitoring both nationally and internationally, and in ongoing screening programs for invasive marine species detection in ports, shipping zones & infrastructure builds. We can select from over 130 metabarcoding assays that have detection ranges from broad taxonomic groups (e.g. eukaryotes or vertebrates) to those focussed on specific taxa (e.g. elasmobranch). Experiences gained from over a decade of working on ancient DNA and environmental DNA can help guide experimental aims to the most impactful outcomes. eDNA frontiers is an unrestricted service provider and can be openly accessed by industry, governments and community, while also offering collaborative power with our sister group the Trace and Environmental DNA lab (TrEnD) at Curtin University.

#eDGES Project 4 aims to develop crucial target information of invasive marine species (IMS) and native co-inhabitants from the North West Shelf of Western Australia. Check out our video below! #InvasiveSpecies #Biodiversity Curtin University
March 22nd is World Water Day! This year's theme is water for peace! Its a chance to unite around water and use water for peace, laying the foundations of a more stable and prosperous tomorrow. World Water Day reminds us how important and precious fresh water is in food, climate, health, biodiversity and culture 🌏 💧 🏞 #WorldWaterDay #WWD24 #WWD2024 #UnitedNations #WaterForPeace #Biodiversity #Climate #Health
Interested in Ancient DNA? A PhD opportunity in ancient DNA at our sister academic lab TrEnD is open for both domestic and international students. This project will use cutting-edge aDNA techniques to explore changes in mammalian and reptilian biodiversity across modern, colonial and pre-colonial periods.

We are super excited to announce some long awaited news! Curtin Credentials, in association with our colleague Professor Simon Jarman, have launched an #eDNA course! This microcredential course aims to provide the knowledge and methods involved when working with eDNA, an understanding of the questions that eDNA analysis can answer, and how to collect the samples that can be used to answer those questions. For expressions of interest, or more information, visit: https://lnkd.in/g8kSrRsb #EnvironmentalDNA #eDNA #EnvironmentalScience #CurtinUniversity
When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world! A shout out to the amazing team of women working here at eDNA Frontiers, and those working toward a more inclusive world for women globally! #inspireinclusion #iwd2024 #womenandgirlsinscience
