The invention discloses a
species identification kit for animal mitochondrial bar code
multiplex PCR amplification and
nanopore sequencing, and relates to the technical field of
species identification. The
species identification kit comprises optimized primer pairs aiming at four hyper-variable genes (Cytb, COI, 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA) of mitochondria, by introducing R, Y, D and other degenerate bases at key sites, the binding capacity of the primers and template
DNA of different species is remarkably improved, the problems that an existing universal primer is prone to mismatch, low in efficiency and even failed in amplification during cross-species amplification are solved, and the species identification kit has the advantages of being high in specificity, high in specificity and high in specificity. The method can be used for species identification of a mixed
DNA sample containing at least two different
animal species sources. The species identification primer combination is applied to preparation of an
animal species identification kit, and the detection coverage range of the kit is expanded. According to the
animal species identification method provided by the invention, a multiple PCR amplification
system and a
nanopore length reading sequencing technology are combined, congeneric
sibling species with highly similar sequences can be distinguished, and the method has good accuracy.
