Does the method used to kill the moth or butterfly affect the success of recovering DNA sequences?

0

From our experience, specimens killed by injection of ammonia or ethanol, or by exposure to cyanide gas are perfectly suitable for DNA barcoding. If you do use a different method and have a doubt about its potential impact on DNA quality, please refer to the campaign or campaign coordinator; if necessary, a test will be run to evaluate this impact.
