Mitotyping Technologies
Species Identification Test
The ability to identify the species of origin
is useful in poaching cases, product contamination
cases, animal abuse cases, and CITES investigations.
Mitotyping Technologies is able to determine
the species of origin from virtually any tissue,
bone, hair, or secretion. Our method, DNA sequencing
of the short fragment of a 12S ribosomal mitochondrial
DNA gene, is described in this article: "Nondestructive
DNA extraction method for mitochondrial DNA
analyses of museum specimens" and the
article is from BioTechniques 36:814-821 (May
2004).
