A fleet of Toyota (10 Toyota Hilux pickups) carrying South African and Canadian researchers will set out from the University of Johannesburg September 20 on a 17-day expedition to document South Africa’s animal and plant species.Our Goal:Our goal is simple (but important) to have a complete database of DNA barcodes for all South Africa’s plant species. This database will allow scientists in the future to be able to identify plants by matching the DNA barcodes of plantsthat they collect to that…See More
