Genetic Diversity of Cephalopods (mollusca: Cephalopoda) from Bangladesh Waters Based on COI and 16S Rrna Genes

In this study, we aim to determine the efficacy of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and 16S ribosomal RNA genes as marker in discriminating the cephalopods from Bangladesh waters. We generated 30 DNA sequences from 28 newly collected specimens, representing eight species belonging to seven genera and three families. The species were discriminated with threshold of ≥ 3
