The use of DNA barcodes, which are short gene sequences taken from a standardized
portion of the genome and used to identify species, is entering a new phase of application …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprise the subpopulation of tumor bulk and acquire resistant to
conventional therapies and are considered as the primary tumor initiator cells. Nowadays …

A DNA barcode is a DNA fragment used to identify species. For land plants, DNA fragments
of plastid genome could be the primary consideration. Unfortunately, most of the plastid …

DNA barcodes have provided a new biological tool for organismal biologists to increase
their understanding of the natural world. Over the last decade four plant DNA barcode …

DNA barcoding has transformed the fields of ecology, evolution, and conservation by
providing a rapid and effective tool for species identification. The growth of DNA barcodes as …

Background The plant working group of the Consortium for the Barcode of Life
recommended the two-locus combination of rbcL+ matK as the plant barcode, yet the …

Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) regulate gene expression in bacteria. We designed
synthetic sRNAs to identify and modulate the expression of target genes for metabolic …

The past couple of decades have witnessed global resurgence of herbal‐based health care.
As a result, the trade of raw drugs has surged globally. Accurate and fast scientific …

Background The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA is
