On 27 September 2023, during a specialised symposium on DNA barcoding at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the Bulgarian Barcode of Life (BgBOL), a Bulgarian DNA barcoding consortium, was founded. By ...

DNA barcoding employs short, standardised gene regions—most often a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene—to deliver rapid and reliable species identification. This approach ...

A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, enhancing a revolutionary method for monitoring ocean biodiversity. The guide ...

The Earth is an almost unimaginably diverse planet in terms of species. Researchers have identified between two and three million species, but there are many more that we know nothing about. The ...

DNA barcoding has emerged as a robust molecular approach for rapid and accurate identification of aquatic species. By targeting a standardised fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase ...
