Abstract
Among various genes involved in DNA taxonomy, DNA barcoding is related to COI gene related taxonomy. MEGA is one of the software used to align DNA and protein sequences. Present study deals with study of the operational taxonomic units of the native fish Rasbora daniconius with other closely related species Rasbora wilpita. Of the evaluated data eleven Operational Taxonomic Units were found out of the present latest data available on NCBI mostly located at the beginning and end part of the sequences. The initial part of the gene was occupied with SNPs and the end part included triplet codons.
