Plant Barcoding Services
Molecular Plant Barcoding
DNA barcoding, a breakthrough technology, unveils the intricacies encoded within DNA sequences—highly conserved and genetically stable elements that exhibit variations across species and remain remarkably consistent within a species. This innovative biological identity system utilizes standardized, diverse, easily amplifiable, and short DNA fragments to deliver swift and self-initiated species identification.
We offer a comprehensive suite of services that go beyond traditional sequencing and identification. We are currently offering Sanger Sequencing of plant barcodes. We will be offering cutting-edge short-read Illumina sequencing platform and long-read Nanopore sequencing, coupled with an extensive understanding of diverse DNA barcoding primers, empower us to deliver unparalleled DNA barcode identification services.
Our services feature:
- Advanced sequencing technologies
- Diverse DNA barcoding primers
- Comprehensive DNA barcode identification services
- Expert assistance in data analysis for DNA barcoding reference data
- Plant whole genome and chloroplast sequencing
- DNA metabarcoding for environmental samples
- MALDI-TOF identification of plant bacterial infections
Samples requirements
- Genomic DNA ≥ 15 μL with a concentration between 50-100 ng/μL.
- OD 260/280 for 1.8-2.2.
- Tested for undegraded DNA bands through 2% agarose gel electrophoresis is preferred.
- Plant material: Transport fresh tissues with leaves silica-dried, maintaining their integrity on dry ice for optimal results.
