Fish DNA Barcoding Kit

The power of DNA research now allows us to add a level of identification based on the sequencing of a conserved gene. The subtle changes in sequences result in species-specific identification or genetic barcodes. The Fish DNA Barcoding Kit is an advanced PCR kit that allows students to determine the species of a fish sample based on its DNA sequence of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene. Perform DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and gel electrophoresis Use sequencing and bioinformatics to determine fish species Contribute to the global initiatives to barcode life Provides sufficient materials for processing up to 16 fish and control samples (8 student work stations, 2 samples per workstation, 2–4 students per workstation)
