Development of a quantitative PCR assay for detection of redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) from environmental DNA
Abstract Objective A quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for the detection of redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) environmental DNA (eDNA) was designed as a side product of a larger project aimed at using tru spec softshell jacket eDNA to determine the presence and geographic extent of native and non-native fishes in the reservoirs and associated tr
