Egg forensics: An appraisal of DNA sequencing to assist in species identification of illegally smuggled eggs 2011-07-07 .txt text/plain 4869 245 51 Clearly the lack of validated DNA reference sequences is hindering our ability to accurately assign a species identity, and accordingly, we advocate that more attention needs to be paid to establishing validated, multi locus mtDNA reference databases for exotic birds that can both assist in genetic identifications and withstand legal scrutiny. Clearly the lack of validated DNA reference sequences is hindering our ability to accurately assign a species identity, and accordingly, we advocate that more attention needs to be paid to establishing validated, multi locus mtDNA reference databases for exotic birds that can both assist in genetic identifications and withstand legal scrutiny. In wildlife forensics, DNA species identification is commonly carried out by amplifying and sequencing fragments of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes cytochrome oxidase I (COI), cytochrome b (Cytb), or 12S ribosomal RNA (12S) [15, 17, 20, 21] . ./cache/cord-263282-a7emso89.txt ./txt/cord-263282-a7emso89.txt
