Describe the DNA barcoding?

DNA barcoding is a technique used to identify and classify species based on a short, standardized segment of their DNA. This segment, typically around 650 base pairs long, is unique to each species and can be used to distinguish between closely related species. By comparing the DNA barcode of an unknown sample to a database of known DNA barcodes, scientists can quickly and accurately identify the species of the sample. DNA barcoding is commonly used in biodiversity research, conservation efforts, and food safety testing.
