A DNA barcoding framework for taxonomic verification in the Darwin Tree of Life Project [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open ResearchBiodiversity 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 ...

Quantifying uncertainty of taxonomic placement in
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Summary A crucial step in the use of DNA markers for biodiversity surveys is the assignment of Linnaean taxonomies (species, genus, etc.) to sequence reads.

Sharpening the DNA barcoding tool through a posteriori taxonomic validation: The case of Longitarsus flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The accuracy of the DNA barcoding tool depends on the existence of a comprehensive archived library of sequences reliably determined at species level by expert taxonomists.

Potential efficacy of mitochondrial genes for animal DNA barcoding: a case study using eutherian mammals [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background A well-informed choice of genetic locus is central to the efficacy of DNA barcoding. Current DNA barcoding in animals involves the use of the 5' half of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 gene (CO1) to diagnose and delimit species. However,

Performance and Limitations of Out‐Of‐Distribution Detection for Insect DNA Barcoding [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSuccessful applications of DNA barcoding rely on the accurate taxonomic identification of sequence fragments. When biological surveys with DNA barcoding target underexplored biological communities, sequence‐based identification is often conducted using ...

DNA barcoding of plants: Selection of core markers for taxonomic groups [PDF]
Plant Science Today, 2017 Plant identification is a crucial and routine taxonomic procedure in order to understand and conserve the biodiversity. Anthropogenic activity, pollution, deforestation, and exploitation of natural resources have been threatening to the plant biodiversity.

DNA barcoding reveals taxonomic uncertainty in Salminus (Characiformes) [PDF]
Systematics and Biodiversity, 2016 Salminus is a genus composed of four species of migratory fishes and top predators. Although this group has great economic and ecological importance, the species level diversity of Salminus is not yet completely clarified. Our goal was to detect if this taxonomic problem is the consequence of lineage divergence within species, and, if so, whether these

DNA barcodes enable higher taxonomic assignments in the Acari [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractAlthough mites (Acari) are abundant in many terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, their diversity is poorly understood. Since most mite species can be distinguished by variation in the DNA barcode region of cytochromecoxidase I, the Barcode Index Number (BIN) system provides a reliable species proxy that facilitates large-scale surveys.
