Abstract:

We are going to barcode leaves and berries from unidentified trees and compare them to online databases such as BLAST to determine if the DNA sequences of the trees are archived in the gene databases. This will help map the biodiversity of the Peconic River Estuary. If we do not find any data that matches our code, we might have find some new species of the tree.
