The comparison of animal species determination (barcoding) methods
Maťátková, Jana ; Vaněk, Daniel (advisor) ; Sember, Alexandr (referee)
Species identification is the key element in many scientific fields, from diversity studies to forensic science and the food industry. Traditional morphological methods based on the visual distinction of anatomical features often encounter limits associated with distinguishing morphologically similar animals. However, with the rise of molecular methods, a new perspective has emerged, namely DNA analysis, which offers higher accuracy and independence from external factors. This bachelor's thesis presents a detailed overview and a comparsion of various molecular methods used to identify animals. It focuses on a thorough evaluation of the principles of these methods and their effectiveness. Special attention is paid to target sequences associated with DNA barcoding, its universal use and limitations that may arise depending on specific animal species. An important element of successful identification is the existence and use of databases that serve as a source of reference data to compare sequences from unknown samples.
