This week’s meeting of the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley features David Duffy, an expert in wildlife disease genomics from the University of Florida, who explores how advanced environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing can identify diverse lifeforms from trace genetic material found in air, water, and soil. He discusses the revolutionary potential of these "tricorder-like" technologies for applications ranging from biodiversity conservation and pathogen surveillance to drug discovery and human genetic analysis.
