| Summary: | Environmental DNA or eDNA utilizes traceable genetic materials in the environment
for monitoring the presence of organisms in a given area and it is now gaining popularity as an
alternative for traditional monitoring methods. Thus, the selection of genetic markers is crucial
for identification of species in wildlife monitoring. This paper aims to review several DNA
markers which are appropriate and reliable for detection of organisms from the environmental
samples. We performed systematic literature search from SCOPUS database to review all
molecular markers of eDNA. This study focuses on the importance of markers selection which
can be utilized by next-generation sequencing (NGS) for biodiversity monitoring. Cytochrome
C oxidase Subunit I (COI) are noted as the most widely used marker in metabarcoding research
for detection of targeted species. |
