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,

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Reconstructing mammalian phylogenies : a detailed comparison of the cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase subunit I mitochondrial genes [PDF]
, 2010 The phylogeny and taxonomy of mammalian species were originally based upon shared or derived morphological characteristics. However, genetic analyses have more recently played an increasingly important role in confirming existing or establishing often ...

DNA barcoding of Corydalis, the most taxonomically complicated genus of Papaveraceae [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractThe genus Corydalis is recognized as one of the most taxonomically challenging plant taxa. It is mainly distributed in the Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains, a global biodiversity hotspot. To date, no effective solution for species discrimination and taxonomic assignment in Corydalis has been developed. In this study, five nuclear and chloroplast DNA
