The wealth of shared resources: Improving molecular taxonomy using eDNA and public databases
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 226-234, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Public databases such as the NCBI's GenBank have been used as repositories for genomic studies for more than 30 years. In this time, our understanding of the natural world, and especially the genomic world, has expanded vastly, and the size of these databases represent this genomic revolution.
