Genome BC’s Sector Innovation Program has launched a new intake – Intake 6 (SIP6), focusing on environmental DNA (eDNA). This competition aims to support genomics research which will address gaps in eDNA analyses that pose barriers to extract and utilize environmental information. Specifically, research supported through this call will focus on the development and validation of eDNA techniques, standards and methods to drive and facilitate the adoption of eDNA by industry and government organizations.
