Animal DNA barcoding is a revolutionary technique that uses short, standardized fragments of DNA to identify and classify animal species with precision and speed. By analyzing specific gene regions such as COI, cytb, or 16S rRNA, scientists can distinguish between even closely related animal species, facilitating the discovery of new species, tracking of wildlife populations, and monitoring of biodiversity. This innovative approach has far-reaching implications for various fields, including zoology, ecology, conservation, and forensic science. In zoology, DNA barcoding enables the rapid identification of animal specimens, streamlining the process of species discovery and classification. In ecology, it helps researchers understand animal community dynamics, track changes in ecosystem composition, and monitor the impact of climate change. In conservation, DNA barcoding informs effective management strategies for endangered species and habitats. Moreover, it aids in the detection of wildlife crime such as poaching and trafficking, and facilitates the identification of human remains in forensic investigations. By harnessing the power of animal DNA barcoding, scientists uncover new insights into animal evolution, diversity, and ecology, driving innovation and progress in various disciplines.  

We analyze different hypervariable regions of the COI, cytb, and 16S rRNA genes depending on the need of our clients.
