Marker Validation 2. Sequence Validation • All loci used in forensic analysis must be validated. • Individual bar-coded sequences will require extra validation for forensic application. • Validation studies include examining variation in PCR conditions and source DNA. • Forensic validation could be included in the bar-coding protocol as an optional extra. • A validation study for COI is underway that includes different forms of fish.
