Title Scientists are turning air filters into DNA collectors that can detect traces of viruses Source Times of India
Description Innovative scientists have developed a method to analyze airborne environmental DNA using standard air filters. This groundbreaking technology can detect local wildlife and monitor viruses without the need for direct observation. Existing national air pollution monitoring stations are already harnessing this essential biological data. Utilizing advanced sequencing techniques, researchers can map entire ecosystems and explore genetic variations within species.
