Background:
Animal food species identification by DNA sequencing has been increasing in recent years. During the last 10 years our species identification laboratory (LIS) produced nearly 1500 sequences from DNA of food species by means of polymerase chain reaction product sequencing. In this paper we desire to make public the LIS output of the last 10 years; that is, summarizing food species authentication projects that yielded good-quality (i.e. provided by Genbank accession number) DNA sequences.
Results:
Thirteen project clusters yielded n = 705 sequences with accession number.
Conclusion:
The most relevant characteristics from the aforementioned project clusters were summarized. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
