Biological systematics: principles and applications. While he continued throughout his lifetime to revise and expand this great work, so his successors have continued to revise the principles of taxonomy, now according to genetic principles, informed by the analysis of DNA. The following is a brief summary on the principles and advancements of primary genetic markers involved in assessments of Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR).

Conversely, protein electrophoresis is a rapid, economic, and straightforward technique and provides a more detailed representation of polymorphisms than morphological or cytological markers; thus, it is still widely used in elucidating the origin and classification of species [10].
