A DNA barcode survey of insect biodiversity in Pakistan [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Although Pakistan has rich biodiversity, many groups are poorly known, particularly insects. To address this gap, we employed DNA barcoding to survey its insect diversity.

Compilation, Revision, and Annotation of DNA Barcodes of Marine Invertebrate Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) Occurring in European Coastal Regions

Diversity, 2023
The introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the major threats to the integrity of European coastal ecosystems. DNA-based assessments have been increasingly adopted for monitoring NIS.

Taxonomy, biodiversity and their publics in twenty-first-century DNA barcoding [PDF]

, 2010
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.

Distance and character-based evaluation of the V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene for the identification of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
DNA barcoding is a molecular tool that exploits a unique DNA sequence of a standardized gene or non-coding region for the species identification of unknown individuals.

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.

Governance of a global genetic resource commons for non-commercial research: A case-study of the DNA barcode commons

International Journal of the Commons, 2019
Life sciences research that uses genetic resources is increasingly collaborative and global, yet collective action remains a significant barrier to the creation and management of shared research resources.

Deep sequencing of plant and animal DNA contained within traditional Chinese medicines reveals legality issues and health safety concerns [PDF]

, 2012
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been practiced for thousands of years, but only within the last few decades has its use become more widespread outside of Asia. Concerns continue to be raised about the efficacy, legality, and safety of many popular
