The biodiversity crisis demands rapid identification and monitoring of species across ecosystems. DNA barcoding, which uses short, standardised gene sequences to discriminate taxa, has revolutionised ...

What Is a DNA Barcode? A DNA barcode is a short, standardized region of the genome used to identify an organism to species. Strictly, the DNA barcode is the sequence or genomic region used as the ...

For the Liu Lab, necessity is truly the mother of invention. The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the genome controls development and needed to image hundreds of RNA molecules in ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...

DNA barcoding employs a standardised fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene to assign specimens to species and uncover hidden lineages. In the Neotropical region, one of the globe’s ...

Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...
