Examples of barcoding in the following topics:
-
- Technology has matured to the point where we can begin cataloging the planet's species in accessible ways; DNA barcoding is one such method.
- Plants may be barcoded using a combination of chloroplast genes.
- 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.
- As of mid-2012, close to 150,000 named species had been barcoded.
- These now can be identified with DNA barcoding.
-
- Efforts to preserve biodiversity take several lines of action, from preserving heirloom seeds to barcoding species.
- Barcoding is a technique in which one or more short gene sequences, taken from a well-characterized portion of the genome, are used to identify a species through DNA analysis.
