A overview of Species Identification by DNA Barcoding

The present mini-review is related with the recent work carried out in the field of DNA barcoding of different species. The barcoding of marine and freshwater fishes and honey bee samples are mostly studied. The study of DNA barcoding is essential to provide accurate toxinomy, biodiversity of species etc. Highlights of the study is Advances in DNA barcoding of fishes, honeybee. Snake etc are described and also Advantages and disadvantages of DNA barcoding is discussed. K e y w o r d s Biodiversity, freshwater fishes, marine species, DNA barcoding, species identification
