WILD FAUNA

Genetic identification of species

The Molecular Genetics Veterinary Service (SVGM) of the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona routinely identifies the species of wild fauna from biological and/or forensic samples, both invasive (tissue or blood) and non-invasive (hair, feces or urine ). He has extensive experience with wild species such as wolf, bear, cat, newt or hare, among others. For individual identification, molecular markers of the SNP type are mainly used.

WILDLIFE SEX

Standardized protocols are available for the sex of canids, ursids and felines based on both invasive and non-invasive samples.

NGS

Extensive experience in mass sequencing of the genome, both to study the diet of an individual and to determine the species that have frequented a certain environment.
