Defining operational taxonomic units using DNA barcode data [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
The 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.

Quantifying uncertainty of taxonomic placement in DNA barcoding and metabarcoding [PDF]

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
A crucial step in the use of DNA markers for biodiversity surveys is the assignment of Linnaean taxonomies (species, genus, etc.) to sequence reads. This allows the use of all the information known based on the taxonomic names. Taxonomic placement of DNA

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

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 ...

Identification of rays through DNA barcoding: an application for ecologists. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
DNA barcoding potentially offers scientists who are not expert taxonomists a powerful tool to support the accuracy of field studies involving taxa that are diverse and difficult to identify.

Performance and Limitations of Out‐Of‐Distribution Detection for Insect DNA Barcoding [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Successful 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 ...

Sharpening the DNA barcoding tool through a posteriori taxonomic validation: The case of Longitarsus flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

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

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,

DNA Barcoding Applications in Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Diversity
Taxonomy is fundamental to all organismic research. Therefore, the integration of molecular and morphological data is increasingly encouraged for more accurate species identification.

DNA barcoding of plants: Selection of core markers for taxonomic groups

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 ...

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.
