Animal DNA Testing

Animal DNA can play a key role in poaching, illegal trafficking, and crimes involving animal products. DNA from nonhuman sources can be more prone to DNA damage compared to human DNA. Animal DNA is often used in the field of wildlife crime for their detection and identification. DNA profiling can be used to identify animals. The Charge switch Technique and prep GEM Technique can be used on insect specimens that have been preserved. The Puregene method, DNAzol method, and DNeasy method can all be used to obtain DNA extract from newly collected insects. Using the QiaQuick PCR purification kit, DNA could be extracted from Copal. It is possible to analyze the DNA of Xylophagus insects using the CTAB and modified CTAB-PVP methods. The extraction of insect DNA within 24 h can now be accomplished using a new high molecular-weight DNA extraction technique.
