About
Applied Genomics are a UK-based consultancy that provide innovative DNA-based solutions for improving ecological assessments. Our environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses deliver data-driven insights for deeper due diligence and more meaningful risk intelligence for our client’s environmental assessments.
We have developed proprietary environmental sampling methods which maximise the probability of eDNA capture, providing sensitive detection of target organisms and comprehensive biodiversity profiling. As a result, our approach is reliable, cost-effective, rapid, non-invasive and significantly enhances conventional survey methods, enabling ecological analyses with molecular accuracy.
Our team has extensive experience working across multiple industrial sectors. We provide eDNA services to quantify environmental pressures in:
- Ports & Maritime — early detection of invasive non-native species
- Fisheries — monitoring fish community diversity & distributions
- Aquaculture — environmental zone of effect monitoring
- Agriculture – characterisation of soil biodiversity
- Contaminated Sites — biodiversity impact analysis
- Mining – monitoring effects of ground contamination and remediation
- Forestry – habitat analysis and disease monitoring
- Oil & Gas – biogeochemical correspondence analysis
We believe that our pragmatic problem-solving approach directly addresses issues related to biodiversity loss at their source and we work collaboratively with government and industry stakeholders to provide valuable insights which support sustainable decision-making.
