Rapid on-site universal vertebrate species identification via multi-barcode nanopore sequencing
2025-06-08
Abstract excerpt
The growing illegal wildlife trade (IWT) threatens biodiversity and is a conduit for zoonotic disease, yet its risk of detection is low. Once processed, trafficked species are difficult to identify morphologically, and currently require DNA-based approaches that are time-consuming, costly, and lab-based. There is thus a need for a rapid, cheap, on-site method for species identification. We describe VeRIF-ID (Verte...
