A targeted capture approach to generating reference sequence databases for chloroplast gene regions

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Metabarcoding has improved the way we understand plants within our environment, from their ecology and conservation to invasive species management. The notion of identifying plant taxa within environmental samples relies on the ability to match unknown ...

Imaging-based molecular barcoding with pixelated dielectric metasurfaces

Science, 2018
Metasurfaces for molecular detection Although mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy is a mainstay of molecular fingerprinting, its sensitivity is diminished somewhat when looking at small volumes of sample.

Transferrable SERS Barcodes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022
AbstractThe demand for encoded surfaces has increased significantly over the past decade driven by the rapid digitalization of the world. Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers unique capabilities in generation of encoded surfaces. The challenge is the limited versatility of SERS‐based encoding systems in terms of the applicable surfaces. This

A DNA barcoding framework for taxonomic verification in the Darwin Tree of Life Project

Wellcome Open Research
Biodiversity genomics research requires reliable organismal identification, which can be difficult based on morphology alone. DNA-based identification using DNA barcoding can provide confirmation of species identity and resolve taxonomic issues but is ...

Robust barcoding and identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages for epidemiological and clinical studies

Genome Medicine, 2020
Background Tuberculosis, caused by bacteria in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), is a major global public health burden. Strain-specific genomic diversity in the known lineages of MTBC is an important factor in pathogenesis that may affect ...

DNA barcoding of Oryza: conventional, specific, and super barcodes [PDF]

Plant Molecular Biology, 2020
Abstract Key message We applied the phylogenomics to clarify the concept of rice species, aid in the identification and use of rice germplasms, and support rice biodiversity. Abstract Rice (genus Oryza) is one of the most important crops in the world, supporting half of the ...
