DNA BARCODING OF ENDANGERED AVIAN FAUNA IN CAPTIVITY-2.pdf Download (2MB) |
Abstract
More than one third of the world’s avian fauna (about 23,000 sequences from 3,800 species) were barcoded through the All Birds Barcoding Initiative (ABBI) and the initial North American avian species barcoding project (Lijtmaer et. al., 2014). Most avian DNA barcodes records deposited in BOLD are derived from archived museum tissue collections - © Barcode of Life Initiative, 2018 • Little work has been done in Africa, particularly in Nigeria with respect to DNA barcoding of her avian species, regardless of the fact that many of the species of birds are threatened to extinction • Barcoding endangered species in the wild or from orphanages, as against museum tissue collections (which are hard to come by), is laborious as researchers are careful not to sacrifice the animals
