Comparison of DNA Extraction Methods for the Detection of Canned Tuna Species with DNA Mini-Barcoding

Figure 1

Amplification and sequencing results obtained for canned tuna samples (n = 24) extracted in duplicate with four different DNA extraction methods. Samples were considered successful if at least one of the duplicate extractions showed amplification/sequencing results.
