Cataloging planetary biodiversity
The Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG) is a research organization dedicated to furthering our understanding of the world’s fauna and flora. Through a variety of approaches, researchers at the institute are discovering, cataloging, and describing biodiversity. DNA barcoding, an innovative technique developed at CBG, utilizes DNA sequencing technology for species identification.
