| description | Morphology-based taxonomy suffers from its inherent limitations, even though most of biological
research depends on reliable identifications of species.
A recent microgenomic identification approach,
which is now being called the “DNA-barcoding,” presents a promising potential of developing into a real-
time, on site tool for identification of organisms, especially animals and of providing an added insight into
evolutionary history
. For animals, the DNA-barcode seems to have been found in the mitochondrial
genome and researchers are in quest of developing similar microgenomic DNA-barcoding systems for
other domains of biological diversity
. This article discusses the DNA-barcoding technique and considers
some of the implications of this approach. |
