DNA barcoding, formerly a way of identifying DNA within foodstuffs, is now being proposed as a way to catalogue life. At the First International Barcoding Conference, held at the Natural History ...

One section of its DNA sequence is very variable between species, making it ideal for DNA barcoding. Several barcoding regions have been developed in plants over the past decade, but rbcL is ...

Researchers have found a faster way to study the spread and diet of insect pests. Using a technique called DNA barcoding, which involves the identification of species from a short DNA sequence ...

Taxonomists have begun using DNA barcodes in three ways. First, barcoding can be used as a ‘triage’ tool for sorting new collections into units based on barcode sequences, of which some will ...

Better barcoding: New library of DNA sequences improves plant identification Date: March 16, 2017 Source: Botanical Society of America Summary: Researchers have used publicly available data to ...

A technique called DNA barcoding could provide a quick and affordable way to help manage endangered species in Atlantic Canada fisheries, a University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) researcher has ...
