Animal Barcoding Methods?
What are the current animal barcoding methods?

What were the past animal barcoding methods?

How do you think these methods could be applied to plant barcoding, in the future?

Best answer:

As far as I know there is only one type of barcoding for animals. It is done by inserting a tiny coded chip under the skin of the animal between its shoulder blades. There have been various tagging, tatooing and clipping methods used over the centuries. I think it would be easier to do in plants by inserting a code in the DNA which would give information for identifying the plant.
