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 ...

In a study published in Journal of Systematics and Evolution, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sought to establish a DNA barcoding ...

DNA barcoding employs short, standardised genetic regions to verify the identity of medicinal plant species and detect substitution or contamination. By amplifying and sequencing loci such as rbcL, ...

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 ...

Spatial epigenetic mapping of tissues enables the study of gene regulation programs and cellular functions with the dependency on their local tissue environment. Here we outline a complete procedure ...

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 ...

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 ...
