What is amplified by PCR?Barcodes: regions of DNA that differ between species. Scientists use a set of universal primers in conserved regions that are upstream and downstream for PCR to amplify the barcode region. DNA sequencing and bioinformatics are then used to identify those differences.

Farm storyShadybrook Farm is having trouble with production of soybeans and has noticed increasing levels of disease, despite the use of fungicides. The farm manager elects for a soil test from a laboratory to identify potential disease-causing organisms. The laboratory produced a report that contained the top two most common DNA sequences from the soil. Your job as a bioinformatician is to help the farm manager identify the species, using the given sequences of DNA, through the use of public databases and basic bioinformatic tools.
