Comparison of Universal mtDNA Primers in Species Identification of Animals in a Sample with Severely Degraded DNA

Analysis of mitochondrial DNA, specifically the cytochrome b gene (cyt b), has become an essential tool for species identification. In the case of degraded samples, in which DNA is fractionated, universal primers, which are highly effective at amplifying the target region, are necessary. The materia...
