Genetic Insight into Store-Bought Shrimp: A DNA Barcoding Exploration

In the DNA barcoding project, an investigation was conducted on commercially acquired shrimp from grocery stores with the aim of determining their origin, identifying the species, and detecting potential mislabeling. A prior research explored the mislabeling phenomenon within seafood, encompassing varieties like grouper, pike perch, yellowfin tuna, and bluefin tuna. This study revealed a correlation between mislabeling occurrences and the affordability of certain fish species (Pardo, Miguel, et al., 2018). Submitted as part of the BIO-203 Molecular Genetics Lab course.
