Using Herbarium‐Derived DNAs to Assemble a Large‐Scale DNA Barcode Library for the Vascular Plants of Canada [PDF]

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2017
Premise of the study: Constructing complete, accurate plant DNA barcode reference libraries can be logistically challenging for large‐scale floras. Here we demonstrate the promise and challenges of using herbarium collections for building a DNA barcode reference library for the vascular plant flora of Canada.
