Overview
rbcL sequencing is a molecular biology technique that targets the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) gene, which is crucial for photosynthesis in plants and some other organisms. This gene is highly conserved, making it an ideal marker for plant identification, phylogenetic studies, and detecting plant pathogens. At DNA Labs India, we utilize state-of-the-art sequencing technology to provide accurate and reliable results. The process involves extracting DNA from plant samples, amplifying the rbcL gene using PCR, and sequencing it to determine the genetic sequence. This information can be used to identify unknown plant species, study evolutionary relationships, diagnose plant diseases, and monitor biodiversity. Our service is cost-effective at INR 5600 per sample, including all necessary steps from extraction to analysis, with a detailed report delivered within 2 weeks. We offer free home sample collection across India, making it convenient for researchers, agriculturists, and botanists to access high-quality sequencing services.
