Multiuse of Bar-HRM for Ophiocordyceps sinensis identification and authentication

Bar-HRM is a hybrid method which combines DNA barcoding and High Resolution Melting analysis. It has proven to be a fast, cost-effective and reliable molecular approach for species identification and authentication. Here, three aspects of the use of Bar-HRM are focused on. First, Bar-HRM is used to discriminate between closely related Ophiocordyceps species. Second, identification of an unknown powder that is claimed to be Ophiocordyceps species...
