Abstract
Enrichment of barcode databases with mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode sequences in different animal taxa has become important for identification of animal source in food samples to prevent commercial fraud. In this study, COI barcode sequence in seventy one river buffalo samples were determined, analyzed and deposited in Genbank barcode database and barcode of life database (BOLD) to contribute for construction of public reference library for COI barcode sequence in river buffalo. Moreover COI barcode sequence was used to identify the closely related buffalo groups: river buffalo, swamp buffalo, lowland anoa and African buffalo. Results indicated the success of the COI barcode in the identification of each of the tested groups. Whereas a suggested sequence of other mitochondrial segment representing two successive transfer RNA (tRNA) genes; tRNA-Threonine (MT-TT) and tRNA-Proline (MT-TP) was failed to be used as a barcode marker for differentiation between the tested buffalo groups.
