Description
Satish Serial Publishing House DNA Barcoding of FIshes by Mahendra Singh Ashish Sahu Uttam Kumar Sarkar
DNA Barcoding of Fishes is a comprehensible book that explains the role of innovative field of DNA barcoding in species identification and phylogenetic analysis. Written by experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques, and applications of DNA barcoding in biodiversity research. This book is equally useful for analysis of other amplicon sequence-based markers used for species identification, phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis. The book begins by introducing the concept of DNA barcoding and its historical development, highlighting the need for a reliable and efficient method for species identification. It then traverses through the process of exploration of waterbodies for sample collection, and fish species identification by traditional taxonomy. The core of the book lies in step by step explanation of DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, Sanger’s sequencing, DNA sequence submission in NCBI, species delimitation, genetic distance and phylogenetic analysis. Readers will appreciate the book’s accessible language and clear explanations, making complex scientific concepts understandable to a broad audience. Case studies and examples from real-world research further illustrate the potential and versatility of DNA barcoding in the study of biodiversity. Whether you are a student, researcher, or simply interested in the intersection of genetics and ecology, “DNA Barcoding” offers a compelling exploration of a cutting-edge scientific technique that is reshaping our understanding of the natural world. It inspires readers to contemplate the future possibilities and ethical considerations associated with this powerful tool, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to stay informed about the latest advancements in molecular biology and biodiversity science.
