摘要: Abstract Tigers are killed to supply a demand for many wildlife products despite ban on commercial international trade. As populations decrease, from substitute species (i.e. lions and leopards) have been fraudulently sold as tiger. DNA forensic techniques needed definitively identify tiger in order secure prosecutions although this is complicated by the presence of numts. Therefore, we developed validated CO1 genetic marker that preferentially amplifies mtDNA region excludes nuclear pseudogene, which expect be use casework.
