The main idea of this project is to identify what species we have living in the Ecolab. We extracted DNA from several types of bees and put them through the PCR process and Gel Electrophoresis. We then prepared the DNA to send it off for sequencing and afterward got back our results. This overall process is called DNA barcoding.

DNA barcoding is important because it utilizes short DNA sequences from standardized regions of the genome to distinguish different species. It provides a molecular barcode unique to each species. It contributes significantly to our understanding of animal diversity and ecosystems.
