However, this is not an adequate way of identifying species of tuna due to COI lacking sufficient interspecies divergence. This is problematic since fraud and mislabeling are a major concern within the fish and tuna industries. READ MORE

  4. 3. Molecular identification of mosquito species : Evaluation of a rapid DNA extraction method together with DNA barcoding as a tool for identification of species

    Keywords : Mosquito; DNA barcoding; PCR; sequencing; DNA; sequence; barcode; COI;

    Abstract : The current method to determine a mosquito specimen to a certain species is by morphological keys basically following the taxonomy developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 1700. Since Watson and Crick presented their model of the double-helix DNA in 1953, a new era of molecular based taxonomic studies have revolutionized the field. READ MORE
