abstract:DNA barcoding is a taxonomic method that uses a short genetic marker in an organism's DNA to identify it as belonging to a particular species. It differs from molecular phylogeny in that the main goal is not to determine patterns of relationship but to identify an unknown sample in terms of a preexisting classification.
His company Cofactor Bio offers a sequencing service to complement its GeneLaser DNA Sequencing Kit, which includes reagents for amplifying target sequences, and DNABarcoding Kit, for identifying the biological origin of samples (available in editions for fish, fungi, flower plants, and other organisms).
