Certain plant species are used as nutritional or dietary supplements. Several specific regions within these supplements have been identified as particularly useful sources of diagnostic DNA sequences. These regions are found in the nuclear genome, the chloroplast genome and the mitochondrial genome. The sequences can be used to design nucleic acid probes and various diagnostic assays. These products and methods can be used to identify specific supplement species or even sub-species and to distinguish them from their closest relatives. The sequences can also be used to identify higher order groups, including geneses, families and others. Using these data, other probes and assay methods can be designed for use in a wide variety of organisms.
