A National Workshop on "DNA Barcoding and Phylogenetics" 09 th – 12 th August, 2017 @ Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, A.P., India
DNA Barcoding is an emerging global standard for identifying species using gene sequences, and it has far reaching applications for society and the study of biodiversity on Earth. DNA Barcoding began during
recent decades with the proposal that organisms could be assigned to their correct species using a short gene sequence from a standardized position in the genome. By using genetic data rather than morphological features, barcoding can identify specimens that challenge the most expert taxonomist: larval forms, eggs, damaged or partial specimens (including gut contents and fecal matter), and derivative forms (e.g., fish filets). Since its introduction, barcoding has proven effective as an identification system for a wide range of taxonomic groups and for varied applications of importance to science and society.
The current Workshop aims to introduce about the current emerging trends and applications of Molecular
Phylogenetics and Evolution studies and to provide hands on training on molecular biology and bioinformatics tools in Molecular Phylogenetics research.
