This book presents a comprehensive overview of DNA barcoding and
molecular phylogeny, along with a number of case studies. It
discusses a number of areas where DNA barcoding can be applied,
such as clinical microbiology, especially in relation to infection
management; DNA database management; and plant -animal
interactions, and also presents valuable information on the DNA
barcoding and molecular phylogeny of microbes, algae,
elasmobranchs, fishes, birds and ruminant mammals. Furthermore it
features unique case studies describing DNA barcoding of reptiles
dwelling in Saudi Arabian deserts, genetic variation studies in
both wild and hatchery populations of Anabas testudineus, DNA
barcoding and molecular phylogeny of Ichthyoplankton and juvenile
fishes of Kuantan River in Malaysia, and barcoding and molecular
phylogenetic analysis of indigenous bacteria from fishes dwelling
in a tropical tidal river. Moreover, since prompt identification
and management of invasive species is vital to prevent economic and
ecological loss, the book includes a chapter on DNA barcoding of
invasive species. Given its scope, this book will appeal not only
to researchers, teachers and students around the globe, but also to
general readers.

More than two third of the surface area of our planet is covered by
oceans and assessment of the marine biodiversity is a challenging
task. With the increasing global population, there is a tendency to
exploit marine recourses for food, energy and other requirements.
This puts pressure on the fragile marine environment and needs
sustainable conservation efforts. Marine species identification
using traditional taxonomical methods are often burdened with
taxonomic controversies. Here in this book we will discuss the
comparatively new concept of DNA barcoding and its significance in
marine perspective. This molecular technique can be helpful in the
assessment of cryptic species which are widespread in marine
environment, and can also be used to link the different life cycle
stages to the adult which is difficult to accomplish in marine
ecosystems. Other advantages of DNA barcoding include
authentication and safety assessment of seafood, wildlife
forensics, conservation genetics and detection of invasive alien
species (IAS). Global DNA barcoding efforts in the marine habitat
include MarBOL, CeDAMar, CMarZ, SHARK-BOL, etc. DNA barcoding of
different marine groups ranging from the microbes to mammals is to
be revealed. In conjugation with newer and faster techniques like
high throughput sequencing, DNA barcoding is serving as an
effective modern tool in marine biodiversity assessment and
conservation.
