DNA Barcoding

·         DNA barcoding was proposed by Paul Hebert in 2003

·         These short sequences are different to each species

·         Can be used to identify organisms from small fragments of material

·         The gene region that is being used for almost all groups is a 648 base-pair in the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (CO1)

·         The advantage of using CO1 is that it can be sequenced quickly and cheaply

·         However, CO1 is not effective for identifying plants

·         Benefits

o   Practical method

o   Broad scientific applications

o   Great use…
