Define DNA barcoding.

Answer
DNA barcoding is a taxonomic method that uses a very short genetic sequence from a standard part of a genome. The genetic sequence used to identify a plant is known as “DNA tags” or “DNA barcodes”. Paul Hebert in 2003 proposed “DNA barcoding” and he is considered as ‘Father of barcoding’.
