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 ...

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.

Unbiased probabilistic taxonomic classification for DNA barcoding [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2016 Abstract Motivation: When targeted to a barcoding region, high-throughput sequencing can be used to identify species or operational taxonomical units from environmental samples, and thus to study the diversity and structure of species communities.

Defining operational taxonomic units using DNA barcode data [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 AbstractThe scale of diversity of life on this planet is a significant challenge for any scientific programme hoping to produce a complete catalogue, whatever means is used. For DNA barcoding studies, this difficulty is compounded by the realization that any chosen barcode sequence is not the gene ‘for’ speciation and that taxa have evolutionary ...

DNA barcoding Brooklyn (New York): A first assessment of biodiversity in Marine Park by citizen scientists. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 DNA barcoding is both an important research and science education tool. The technique allows for quick and accurate species identification using only minimal amounts of tissue samples taken from any organism at any developmental phase.

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2014 AbstractThe analysis of DNA barcode sequences with varying techniques for cluster recognition provides an efficient approach for recognizing putative species (operational taxonomic units, OTUs). This approach accelerates and improves taxonomic workflows by exposing cryptic species and decreasing the risk of synonymy. This study tested the congruence of

PPNID : a reference database and molecular identification pipeline for plant-parasitic nematodes [PDF]
, 2020 Motivation: The phylum Nematoda comprises the most cosmopolitan and abundant metazoans on Earth and plant-parasitic nematodes represent one of the most significant nematode groups, causing severe losses in agriculture.

Rapid dissemination of taxonomic discoveries based on DNA barcoding and morphology [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractThe taxonomic impediment is characterized by dwindling classical taxonomic expertise, and slow pace of revisionary work, thus more rapid taxonomic assessments are needed. Here we pair rapid DNA barcoding methods with swift assessment of morphology in an effort to gauge diversity, establish species limits, and rapidly disseminate taxonomic ...

Performance of DNA metabarcoding, standard barcoding, and morphological approach in the identification of host-parasitoid interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Understanding interactions between herbivores and parasitoids is essential for successful biodiversity protection and monitoring and for biological pest control.
