Activity description:

DNA Barcoding, Part 3 (of 3)
DNA barcoding allows for the identification of an organism through analysis of a short region of DNA within its genome, similar to how the pattern of bars in a universal product code (UPC) identifies each consumer product. Follow Dr. Sharon Pepenella through this three-part series as she introduces you to the wet lab procedures behind isolating, amplifying, and sequencing a barcode region of an organism’s DNA to identify the species!

In this DNALC Live session, you will:

• Gain an understanding of how DNA sequencing techniques determine the order of nucleotides in a region of DNA
• Identify organisms from their DNA barcode sequences using the Blue Line of DNA Subway
