Preparing for a huge Kākāpo breeding season. Here we're teaching the fantastic DOC team on how to use our fast in-field PCR test to sex Kākāpo chicks. The team have swabbed themselves and are learning how to extract the DNA & run the PCR before then applying these principles to Kākāpō chicks.

Like any good first experiment . . .it failed.

Knowing the sex of #takahe chicks as soon as possible is important for DOC's breeding programme. We developed a new rapid extraction & #qPCR sex test to help DOC determine the sex of up to 46 chicks in less an hour in the field. A game changer! #conservation @docgovtnz.bsky.social @digs.bsky.social
