Ecological Restoration
In ecological research, molecular techniques and genetic markers are commonly used for various purposes such as species identification, assessing genetic diversity within populations, understanding interspecies relationships, and monitoring habitat usage.
DNA Barcoding
This method involves the use of DNA sequences to identify species. The DNA sequence of one or more specific genes that are unique to a particular species is analyzed. This method is commonly used for species identification and in taxonomic studies.
Ecological Restoration: The use of genetic approaches for the restoration and development of restoration strategies for degraded ecosystems
SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) Analysis
SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) analysis is a molecular biology technique used to study genetic variations at the level of single nucleotide differences in DNA sequences among individuals within a population. SNPs are the most common type of genetic variation in the human genome and can influence traits, susceptibility to diseases, and response to drugs. SNP analysis involves identifying and comparing the variations in single nucleotides at specific positions in the DNA sequence among individuals. This technique is widely used in various fields, including population genetics, medical research, and personalized medicine, to understand the genetic basis of diseases and individual differences.
Metagenomic Analysis
Metagenomics is a technique that involves studying the collective genome of all microorganisms in a particular environment. This technique is used to understand microbial diversity in ecosystems.
Ecological Modeling and Data Analysis: The integration of molecular data with ecological models to predict future states of ecosystems.
Microsatellite Analysis
Microsatellites are short repeated DNA sequences in the genome. In population genetics studies, microsatellite analysis is commonly used to determine the genetic diversity and structure of populations.
Epigenetic Analyzes
Epigenetic analysis refers to the study of changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype that are caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA regulation. Epigenetic analysis is important for understanding how gene expression is regulated and how it can be influenced by environmental factors.
