Using DNA profiles to verify timber supply chain integrity offers several advantages. Below, we list the top four: 1. Origin The origin of wood products can be verified independently, accurately and transparently. 2. Independent verification At any stage along the supply chain, a sample can be collected and sent to […]

The DNA traceability of wood and wood products is a novelty that is here to stay. Along with that technological innovation, new computational tools were needed. In recent months, our team was challenged to develop a system of computational tools that would allow connecting wood traceability by DNA to the […]

This is a very common question. The answer is: all species. However, it is important to emphasize that scientific knowledge is limited and, therefore, there are species that we know much more about their genetics than others. Based on current scientific knowledge, Bio-tool has developed methods for tracing the main […]

DNA-based technologies are here to stay and can be used for accurate traceability. Using DNA, it is possible to scientifically prove the origin and legality of timber products. How does it work? Tree samples are collected in the forest management and sent to the lab for DNA sequencing and generating […]
