Article in Scientific American on DNA barcoding
The popular science magazine Scientific American posted an article on DNA barcoding online, which also highlights the work of our former Master Student Madeleine Bloch.
The work has previously been published in J. Agric. Food Chem. and describes a technology to trace the path of milk, yoghurt and cheese from farm to fork. Learn more about the barcoding work of FML: http://www.fml.ethz.ch/research/fosslab.html
