Field Value
Term Organismal DNA
Definition Refers to DNA sampled directly from the organism through whole organism collection (e.g. invertebrates), swabbing, blood sampling, clipping etc. Usually high concentration and non-degraded. The location of the organism at the time of sampling is definitively known. Overall there are fewer uncertainties than for eDNA.
