TX-FISH-DNA: A Regionally-Focused DNA Barcode Interface to Enhance Identification and Monitoring of the Freshwater, Estuarine and Marine Fishes of Texas

This project is focused on developing a regionally focused tissue bank and DNA barcode database for the ichthyofauna of TX. This database will fuel regional DNA-based research on freshwater, estuarine, and marine fishes (e.g., standard barcoding, metabarcoding, eDNA) by providing access to expert verified tissues and mitochondrial DNA sequences associated with voucher specimens housed in the Collection of Fishes.
