By analyzing 503 dried maw samples, researchers identified 39 species, including critically endangered European eels and ...

This is the warning of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who used DNA barcoding to analyze 30 ...

A new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has uncovered that shark meat sold in U.S. grocery stores, ...

The Earth is an almost unimaginably diverse planet in terms of species. Researchers have identified between two and three million species, but there are many more that we know nothing about.

There are millions of species on Earth that we still know nothing about. Researchers call these species "biological dark matter," but new methods can provide us with a better overview more quickly.

Scientists are looking for the "dark matter" of the animal kingdom — and it's revealing how little we know about life on our planet.

Students have been working to identify the roots using DNA barcoding. After analyzing a segment of DNA, the sample is compared to a database of known barcodes to correctly identify the plant.

New DNA tests reveal the hidden half of plants, their roots, unlocking insights into soil health, biodiversity, and climate ...

An innovative new technique developed at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single cells within thick biological ...

Evidence derived from cutting-edge DNA technology that prosecutors say points directly at Rex Heuermann being the Gilgo Beach ...
