How costly is DNA analysis?

​​

The cost of DNA analysis can vary widely depending on:

• the type of analysis (species ID, individual ID, sexing, etc.),

• the quality and quantity of DNA

• the number of samples

• Analysis method – determining the accuracy and precision

• the requirement of R&D to develop / optimise new genetic markers for studying a particular species, as several genetic markers and species-specific.
