Because many animal species are undescribed, and because the identification of known
species is often difficult, interim taxonomic nomenclature has often been used in biodiversity …

Short DNA sequences from a standardized region of the genome provide a DNA barcode for
identifying species. Compiling a public library of DNA barcodes linked to named specimens …

Biodiversity studies greatly benefit from molecular tools, such as DNA metabarcoding, which
provides an effective identification tool in biomonitoring and conservation programmes. The …

DNA barcodes are widely used for identification and discovery of species. While such use
draws on information at the DNA level, the current amassment of ca. 4.7 million COI …

Genetic tools are increasingly used to identify and discriminate between species. One key
transition in this process was the recognition of the potential of the ca 658bp fragment of the …

The reliable taxonomic identification of organisms through DNA sequence data requires a
well parameterized library of curated reference sequences. However, it is estimated that just …

COI DNA barcoding is increasingly recognized as a significant new tool for the recognition
and identification of animal species. Here, publicly available barcode data are compiled and …

The functionality of standard zoological DNA barcoding practice (the identification of
unknown specimens by comparison of COI sequences) is contingent on working barcode …

The use of DNA as a tool for species identification has become known as" DNA
barcoding"(Floyd et al., 2002; Hebert et al., 2003; Remigio and Hebert, 2003). The basic …

Background The goal of DNA barcoding is to develop a species-specific sequence library for
all eukaryotes. A 650 bp fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1) gene has been used …
