IDENTIFICATION OF SOME LOCAL INSECTS USING DNA BARCODING

V. N. Magare

Abstract :

 Sequence diversity in the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) is often used for DNA barcoding different animals in order to identify and classify them. There is dearth of information available on such studies done in India, especially in the Maharashtra state. So the present investigation was carried out to investigate the efficacy of COI gene in DNA barcoding to identify some local insects collected from a nearby forest. Sequence of the amplified COI region when analyzed by BLAST tool was able to identify the insect samples based on their sequence similarities.
