Current limitations and future prospects of detection and biomonitoring of NIS in the Mediterranean Sea through environmental DNA [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2021 The biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea is currently threatened by the introduction of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS). Therefore, monitoring the distribution of NIS is of utmost importance to preserve the ecosystems.

Marine nematode taxonomy in the DNA age: the present and future of molecular tools to access their biodiversity [PDF]
, 2010 Molecular taxonomy is one of the most promising yet challenging fields of biology. Molecular markers such as nuclear and mitochondrial genes are being used in a variety of studies surveying marine nematode taxa.

Fast phylogenetic DNA barcoding [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 We present a heuristic approach to the DNA assignment problem based on phylogenetic inferences using constrained neighbour joining and non-parametric bootstrapping. We show that this method performs as well as the more computationally intensive full Bayesian approach in an analysis of 500 insect DNA sequences obtained from GenBank.

Increasing the digital repository of DNA barcoding sequences of sand flies (Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) [PDF]
, 2019 Sand f ly identification is complex because it depends on the expertise of the taxonomist. The females show subtle morphological differences and the occurrence of the species complexes are usual in this taxon.

High-throughput identification of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities in mixtures of barcoded tumor cell lines. [PDF]
, 2016 Hundreds of genetically characterized cell lines are available for the discovery of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities. However, screening large numbers of compounds against large numbers of cell lines is currently impractical, and such experiments
