A test case for DNA barcodes to identify species
...s "not yet a definitive test of the utility of DNA barcoding for either diagnosis of individuals or discovery of species." Future studies will have to determine whether these results can be generalized to animals in other ecosystems, but the authors argue that constructing a comprehensive library of barcodes w...Hidden diversity: DNA 'barcoding' reveals a common butterfly is actually 10 different species

He plans to use bioconjugated nanoparticles for early identification, quantification, and localization of gene sequences, proteins, infectious organisms, or genetic disorders. Many of the pra...
