Northeast India is a reservoir of rich biodiversity, especially Greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) which is facing extinction. DNA barcoding being an exciting tool for accurate documention of biodiversity with a gene sequence, in the present article DNA barcode of R. unicornis is determined for the first time by amplifying mitochondrial COI gene region using cross species primer designing and other bioinformatics analysis (Accession No. JN41700). Phylogeny analysis of obtained sequence with other related species distinctly maintains the assigned taxonomic position.

Abstract


Northeast India is a reservoir of rich biodiversity, especially Greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) which is facing extinction. DNA barcoding being an exciting tool for accurate documention of biodiversity with a gene sequence, in the present article DNA barcode of R. unicornis is determined for the first time by amplifying mitochondrial COI gene region using cross species primer designing and other bioinformatics analysis (Accession No. JN41700). Phylogeny analysis of obtained sequence with other related species distinctly maintains the assigned taxonomic position.
