The analysis of environmental DNA is highly promising to support ecological surveys for species-at-risk monitoring or invasive species management.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Environmental DNA (eDNA) can provide non-destructive, rapid, cost-effective and accurate biodiversity information. This genetic material shed from organisms into their environment can help Canadian communities, Indigenous peoples, industries and regulators manage natural resources with timely and relevant information regarding risk and impacts of human activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Val\u00e9rie Langlois<\/a> of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) will lead the iTrackDNA<\/em><\/a>: Non-Destructive Precision Genomics for Environmental Impact Tracking in a Global Climate Change Era <\/em>project. Along with Caren Helbing (University of Victoria, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Dupras (Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec en Outaouais) and Louis Bernatchez (Universit\u00e9 Laval), they will build end-user capacity through innovative, accessible and socially responsible genomics-based analytical eDNA tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Improved Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy 2025, eDNA will undoubtedly become a mainstream assessment tool as many countries start investing in eDNA technology,\u201d highlights Val\u00e9rie Langlois, specialist in ecotoxicogenomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valued at more than $12 million, this pan-Canadian collaborative project will support sound decision-making to support ecological surveys for species-at-risk monitoring; invasive species management; and granting permits and permission for energy, mining, forestry, manufacturing and infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe iTrackDNA project is poised to help Canadians reach high environmental quality standards and position Canada as an international leader on eDNA standards adoption, policy development and testing.\u201d<\/p>Val\u00e9rie Langlois, scientific head of the Ecotoxicogenomics and Endocrine Disruption Laboratory<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201ciTrackDNA is about enabling confident use of eDNA methods by professionals and citizen scientists alike,\u201d explains Dr. Caren Helbing, Professor of Biochemistry & Microbiology at the University of Victoria. \u201cIt\u2019s a game changer for environmental surveys and resource management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project was funded through Genome Canada<\/a> and Genome Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>\u2019s 2020 Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition: Genomic Solutions for Natural Resources and the Environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Decontaminating wastewater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to iTrackDNA, INRS is involved in the project “Application of genomics to enhance wetland treatment systems for remediation of processed water in northern environments<\/a>“. The project, in which professors \u00c9tienne Yergeau<\/a> and J\u00e9r\u00f4me Comte<\/a> are participating, aims to decontaminate wastewater from oil sands operations by using filtering wetlands where plants will interact with microbes to degrade contaminants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
