Molecular Taxonomy Using Mitochondrial DNA

Taxonomy is a hierarchical system into which we can classify animals and plants according to certain characteristics. This system was created only using certain structural features, such as size, color ... etc. In the case where we have only a piece of tissue available from the organism, we must look for other ways to identify the organisms. It is molecular taxonomy in the classification of organisms into hierarchical groups that uses molecular features, by which we mean features stored in the sequences of information macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA and proteins. The system that seeks this classification is called DNA bar coding, which includes the creation of animal databases, but also a network of organizations dealing with this issue. Standard methods for DNA sequence analysis work with their symbolic representation. Alternatively, numerical methods for representing genomic data are used [1, 2]. The aim of this work is to get acquainted with molecular taxonomy, cell biology, DNA bar coding and numerical methods of genomic sequence processing. From these methods, find the most suitable for processing the used data and programmatically implement this method. Using the selected method, create reference numerical sequences of twenty species in the programming environment and then classify the
