DNA extracted from mosquito blood meals revealed traces of 86 vertebrate species, helping scientists track entire ecosystems.

Abstract: DNA barcode is a short sequence taken from organism's DNA which can be used as marker for species identification purpose. The barcoding technique is quite similar to the way a barcode ...

The Netherlands has launched an ambitious national program to map and barcode every known plant, animal, and fungal species in the country, aiming to create one of the most comprehensive DNA libraries ...

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), immunomodulatory DNA/RNA, and gene-editing guide RNA (gRNA), hold ...

A recent study in West Bengal used DNA barcoding and traditional methods of species identification to document fish diversity in the Purba Midnapore district. Ambiguities in species identities when ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive DNA tool to help monitor hard-to-trace African carnivores, including caracals and leopards, making it potentially useful in the conservation of elusive and ...

A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, enhancing a revolutionary method for monitoring ocean biodiversity. The guide ...
