The goal of DNA barcoding is to find a simple, cheap, and rapid DNA assay that can be converted to a readily accessible technical skill that bypasses the need to rely on highly trained taxonomic ...

DNA barcoding is a movement to catalog all life on earth by a simple standardized genetic tag, similar to stores labeling products with unique barcodes. The effort promises foolproof food inspection, ...

DNA barcoding involves the use of only a tiny snippet of DNA to identify unknown species. The technique has become so popular of late that for the last three years, researchers started a meeting ...

The Earth is filled with species diversity, much of which remains unknown. While scientists have identified between two and ...

It’s January 2013, and the UK and Ireland are both gripped by the same scandal. News has broken that several food products sold in both countries (all frozen burgers or ready meals) contain horse meat ...

Many Europeans are fretting these days over what they eat, and whether horse meat might have adulterated their pork chops. Food fraud has been dominating headlines globally - calling for new policies ...

Leiden researchers, led by Sebastian Pomplun, have developed a new method to screen hundreds of thousands of molecules for drug discovery, using mass spectrometry instead of DNA tags. "We wanted to ...
