Excrement analysis by PCR

Article Abstract:

A genetic analysis of a threatened population of European brown bears in the Brenta region of Northern Italy was carried out using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to examine the bears' droppings. PCR allows researchers to enlarge the mitochondrial DNA samples obtained from the droppings. PCR analysis can help to estimate how many bears or other rare animals are present in a particular area and to infer the animals' eating habits.
