To do this, scientists extract DNA from tiny tissue samples taken from organisms of interest and sequence specific sections within or between genes for DNA barcoding. Subsequently, they match the ...

The Earth is filled with species diversity, much of which remains unknown. While scientists have identified between two and three million species, many more remain undiscovered, often referred to ...

The Human Genome Project has been finished—why is it important to look at the genomes of other species? Species inventory projects can reveal insights into biodiversity and utility for humans ...

Using an innovative barcoding-style system developed with colleagues at Harvard University, Bachman, Holmes and their team were able to label bacteria with short snippets of DNA in mouse models and ...
