Experiment code 15.8.3.25
Experiment Title DNA barcoding of different Bamboo and Fiscus species
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Taxonomic and systematic studies of bamboos are traditionally based on floral morphology, which can cause problems in identification. The vegetative character used for identification are likely to be subtle and variable in most cases, it is difficult to say how much they reflect the true evolutionary history of these plants (Wu 1962; Ohrnberger 2002). DNA barcoding, a new method for the quick identification of any species based on extracting a DNA sequence from a tiny tissue sample of any organism, is now being applied to taxa across the tree of life. As a research tool for taxonomists, DNA barcoding assists in identification by expanding the ability to diagnose species by including all life history stages of an organism. As a biodiversity discovery tool, DNA barcoding helps to flag species that are potentially new to science.

Experimental detail

:

Isolate DNA from the sample followed by amplification of  the target DNA barcode region using PCR. Sequence the PCR products and Compare the resulting sequences against reference databases to find the matching species

Marker: Chloroplast rbcL, matK etc. region specific markers

 

Methodology:

Tissue Sampling

2. Tissue Lysis and DNA Extraction

3. Polymerase Chain Reaction – Chloroplast specific
    markers 

4. PCR Cleanup

5. Cycle Sequencing Reaction

6. Sequencing Reaction Cleanup,

7. Sequencing

8. Post Sequencing Analysis

 

NCBI Gene bank search for sequence and also at the International Barcode of Life (IBOL) database, BOLD (Barcode of Life Online Database); their records are not all in GenBank®. International Barcode of Life: http://www.ibolproject.org The Consortium for the Barcode of Life:   http://www.barcoding.si.edu

Observation to be recorded

:

  • Quantitative and Qualitative analysis of extracted genomic DNA using Electrophoratic and Nanodrop analysis.
  • DNA amplification will be carried out by Termalcycler machine followed by Electrophoratic analysis.
  • Gel snap will be documented under UV gel documentation system.
  • Amplicone size polymorphism (bp)
  • Nucleotide level polymorphism of DNA sequence

Phylogenetic analysis of species.

11.

Statement of progress

:

Total 33 species of  bamboo and seven species of Ficus have been collected. The DNA extraction process also completed for the collected samples. The DNA barcoding of 33 species of bamboo for one marker has been completed. Remaining species collection  of Ficus is in progress  and DNA barcoding work will be initiated as soon as completion of total sample collection.
