Evaluation of DNA barcoding reference databases for marine species in the western and central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

PeerJ
DNA barcoding is a widely used tool for species identification, with its reliability heavily dependent on reference databases. While the quality of these databases has long been debated, a critical knowledge gap remains in their comprehensive evaluation ...

Evaluating the Utility of Single-Locus DNA Barcoding for the Identification of Ribbon Worms (Phylum Nemertea). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Whereas many nemerteans (ribbon worms; phylum Nemertea) can be identified from external characters if observed alive, many are still problematic. When it comes to preserved specimens (as in e.g.

Tidying up international nucleotide sequence databases [PDF]

, 2011
Sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA operon, particularly the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, provides a powerful tool for identification of mycorrhizal fungi.

A taxonomically reliable DNA barcode reference library for North Sea macrobenthos

Scientific Data
Abstract EU directives (e.g. MSFD, Habitats Directive), along with OSPAR guidelines, mandate sustainable marine resource management across national borders. Benthic organisms are crucial for assessing marine ecosystem health, but their morphological identification is time-consuming and costly.

DNA barcoding of Messor ants of Bulgaria with insights into their taxonomic diversity

Biodiversity Data Journal
Despite ongoing efforts to catalogue European ant species, studies focusing on the genetic diversity of Balkan ants remain limited. An integrative approach combining morphology, genetics, ecology and biogeography is preferable for accurately identifying species and resolving taxonomic uncertainties, particularly amongst challenging

Taxonomic rank of Indian tortoise: revisit with DNA barcoding perspective

DNA Barcodes, 2013
Taxonomic rank of terrestrial tortoise inhabiting in India and adjacent countries has been an unresolved issue. Wild living species of Manouria and Indotestudo genera have been classiied through conventional taxonomy, but not adequately discriminated by mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.

Taxonomic, DNA Barcoding and Phylogenetic Reassessment of the Egyptian Ephedra L. (Ephedraceae) [PDF]

Catrina: The International Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2018
This study attempts to carry out a critical revision for the genus Ephedra in Egypt based on morpholo-gical characters for leaf, stem and flower. DNA sequencing data used for the first time for DNA barcoding of the family Ephedraceae in Egypt. One chloroplast marker-intergenic spacer trn-H/psb-A and another nuclear Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS ...

Overcoming taxonomic challenges in DNA barcoding for improvement of identification and preservation of clariid catfish species

Genomics & Informatics, 2023
DNA barcoding without assessing reliability and validity causes taxonomic errors of species identification, which is responsible for disruptions of their conservation and aquaculture industry. Although DNA barcoding facilitates molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of species, its availability in clariid catfish lineage remains uncertain ...

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.

Highlighting Astyanax Species Diversity through DNA Barcoding. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
DNA barcoding has been used extensively to solve taxonomic questions and identify new species. Neotropical fishes are found in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with a large number of species yet to be described, many of which are very difficult to ...
