Fast phylogenetic DNA barcoding [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008
We present a heuristic approach to the DNA assignment problem based on phylogenetic inferences using constrained neighbour joining and non-parametric bootstrapping. We show that this method performs as well as the more computationally intensive full Bayesian approach in an analysis of 500 insect DNA sequences obtained from GenBank.
