Identification Of Unknown Organism DNA Through Molecular Analysis

Abstract DNA sequencing can be utilized for the identification of unknown organisms. A series of protocols were followed, in which DNA was first extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit, followed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), PCR clean up, Cycling Sequencing Reaction (CSR), and CSR clean-up, An electropherogram from the CSR results allows...
