Wildlife DNA Forensic in Curbing Illegal Wildlife Trade: Specie Identification from Seizures
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Science & Pathology (IJFP) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Species identification in wildlife forensics is the one of the major concern to enforce law and curbing illegal wildlife trade. Among all the available analytical teqniques DNA based species identification is the most robust and acceptable evidence in the court of law. We analysed cytochrome b and 12S rRNA mtDNA fragments to identify species from three different seizures. DNA based analysis of Cyt b and 12S rRNA has identified three seizures as Hog deer, Chital and Swamp deer.
