GenCamp Theme

All life is unique and distinct yet also unified by a blueprint - our genetic material, the DNA!
From the forest critters, to birds of prey, even plants too share the same genetic codes and information forming the bewildering biodiversity of the planet.
Identifying and classifying organisms are now made easy using DNA Barcoding like scanning price tag barcodes in supermarkets, and Q codes with your smartphones. Such method will help us conserve our real treasures!
