Species identification of ancient Lithuanian fish remains using collagen fingerprinting

Dental DNA fingerprinting in identification of human remains

The recent advances in molecular biology have revolutionized all aspects of dentistry. DNA, the language of life yields information beyond our imagination, both in health or disease. DNA fingerprinting is a tool used to unravel all the mysteries associated with the oral cavity and its manifestations during diseased conditions. It is being increasingly used in analyzing various scenarios related...

Identification of Fish Species using Neural Networks

Abstract : The number of workers engaged in Japanese fisheries and related industries in Japan has decreased markedly in recent years due to factors such as an aging workforce, issues related to the management of natural resources and the environment, international affairs, and changes in consumer food preferences. There is therefore a need to mechanize and automate aspects related to work usua...

Identifying Bird Remains Using Ancient DNA Barcoding

Bird remains that are difficult to identify taxonomically using morphological methods, are common in the palaeontological record. Other types of challenging avian material include artefacts and food items from endangered taxa, as well as remains from aircraft strikes. We here present a DNA-based method that enables taxonomic identification of bird remains, even from material where the DNA is he...

Acinetobacter species identification by using tRNA spacer fingerprinting.

Identification of Acinetobacter spp. to the DNA group level by phenotypic techniques is problematic, and there is a need for an alternative identification method for routine use. The present study validated the suitability of a rapid identification technique based on tRNA spacer (tDNA) fingerprinting in comparison with that of a commercially available assay involving carbon source utilization t...
