Plant Genetic Classification Bioinformatics Analysis

Plant genetic classification and species identification have a wide range of applications in botanical research and the development of agricultural production. The study of plant taxonomy is important for conserving biodiversity and discovering the multiple values of plants. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, large amounts of chloroplast genome and nuclear genome data have been parsed as data support for the genetic classification of plants.

Lifeasible, a leading plant biotechnology company, has been specializing in plant bioinformatics analysis since its inception. Our experienced sequencing team and bioinformatics analysis experts provide satisfactory plant genetic classification bioinformatics analysis services based on chloroplast genomic and nuclear genetic information.

What We Offer

• DNA Barcoding

DNA barcoding is a standard, sufficiently variable, easily amplified, and relatively short fragment of DNA within an organism that is representative of the species. DNA barcoding has become an emerging technique for identifying plant species. We often use the rbcL and matK fragments of the chloroplast genome as DNA barcodes for plant identification.

1. Firstly, statistical analysis of discontinuities at the population level was carried out based on traditional morphological traits.
2. Second, DNA barcode fragments were amplified and sequenced from multiple individuals to detect the presence of genetic discontinuities.
3. Thirdly, other studies on reproductive isolation or geographical distribution information, such as chromosome number and hybridization.
4. Finally, morphometric analyses, genetic discontinuities, reproductive isolation, and other geographical distribution information are combined to define the species and integrate taxonomy.

• Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Technology

RAPD technology, based on PCR, has received widespread attention in plant genetic diversity analysis, kinship exploration, and variety identification.

1. First, DNA was extracted from plants within the same genus as the species to be analyzed.
2. Multiple random primers are then used to PCR amplify the extracted DNA.
3. Clustering analysis of plant species or variants. The PCR amplification products were processed for 0 and 1 data, with bands at the same migration position being recorded as "1" and no bands as "0". The clustering was performed using the unweighted group arithmetic mean method UPGMA and SAS/PC statistical analysis software.

Plant Species Covered by Our Services

Applications

• Conservation of plant genetic diversity.
• Elucidate plant phylogenetic relationships and species boundaries.
• It can identify not only the species or varieties of plants but also analyze the genetic relationship of plants.

Why Choose Lifeasible

We have carried out taxonomic identifications by integration, in which the species are characterized by objectivity and verifiability, at least in terms of morphological and genetic discontinuities. It will also greatly improve the rate of species identification and the accuracy and scientific validity of species identification.
