Mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequence variations: an approach to fish species identification in processed fish products.
The identification of fish species in food products is problematic because morphological features of the fish are partially or completely lost during processing. It is important to determine fish origin because of the increasing international seafood trade and because European Community Regulation 104/2000 requires that the products be labeled correctly. Sequence analysis of PCR products from a...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Parakeet Species by Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Marker
Birds in pet trade are still a continuing issue beyond protection and conservation. Parakeets and allies are the majority among reported species. Identifying a species under forensic investigation is a challenge, as many cases involve trade of newly hatched chicks, juveniles and eggs where morphometric identification fails. Molecular identification using selective DNA markers, especially mitoge...
متن کاملApplication of Mitochondrial DNA Technologies in Wildlife Investigation - Species Identification.
Forensic science laboratories are increasingly requested to investigate crimes involving wildlife and to examine nonhuman biological tissue. The illegal trade in endangered species has led to a need to use methods, accepted by the forensic community and acceptable to a court of law, that will identify species that are present from seized samples and to determine whether the ownership of the sam...
متن کاملSpecies identification of meat products using the cytochrome b gene
The partial sequence (402 bp) of cytochrome b gene has been proved to be of value in the identification of animal species from unknown samples. In this study, the analysis of 402 bp sequences was used to confirm the materials of 87 processed meat products. There were 11 samples that did not conform to the original indicated materials. The inconsistent ratio was about 12.6 %. There were 9 and 10...
متن کاملSpecies identification of rhinoceros horns using the cytochrome b gene.
Material suspected of originating from species of Rhinoceros is frequently seized by forensic organizations investigating trade in endangered species. At present identification of the species is possible by DNA sequencing of the material, such as powdered rhinoceros horns. The unambiguous identification of rhino products using a 402 bp fragment of cytochrome b gene was investigated. This DNA se...
