AbstractThe modern concept of DNA-based barcoding for cataloguing biodiversity was proposed in 2003 by first adopting an approximately 600 bp fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene to compare via nucleotide alignments with known sequences from specimens previously identified by taxonomists. Other standardized regions meeting barcoding criteria then are

Taxonomy, biodiversity and their publics in twenty-first-century DNA barcoding [PDF]
We examine the crafting of publics in the global Barcoding of Life Initiative (BOLI)—seen as crucial for re invigorating, and democratizing, early-twentyfirst- century taxonomic sciences and hence for actually achieving biodiversity protection.

DNA as an information storage system is simple and at the same time complex owing to the various different arrangements of the four natural nucleotides.[1] The DNA synthesis by DNA polymerases is intriguing, since these enzymes are able to catalyze the elongation of the primer strand by recognizing the DNA template and selecting the corresponding ...

Barcoding in trypanosomes [PDF]
SUMMARY Trypanosomes (genus Trypanosoma ) are parasites of humans, and wild and domestic mammals, in which they cause several economically and socially important diseases, including sleeping sickness in Africa and Chagas disease in the Americas.

A photochemical strategy to encode fluorescence signals in vivo with spatial control was designed around the unique properties of a photoactivatable borondipyrromethene (BODIPY). The photoinduced disconnection of two oxazines, flanking a single BODIPY, in two consecutive steps produces a mixture of three emissive molecules with resolved fluorescence ...

CO I Barcoding Reveals New Clades and Radiation Patterns of Indo-Pacific Sponges of the Family Irciniidae (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) [PDF]
DNA barcoding is a promising tool to facilitate a rapid and unambiguous identification of sponge species. Demosponges of the order Dictyoceratida are particularly challenging to identify, but are of ecological as well as biochemical importance.Here we ...

DNA barcoding for community ecology--how to tackle a hyperdiverse, mostly undescribed Melanesian fauna. [PDF]
Trigonopterus weevils are widely distributed throughout Melanesia and hyperdiverse in New Guinea. They are a dominant feature in natural forests, with narrow altitudinal zonation.
