Journal ArticleDOI
Biological identifications through DNA barcodes
TL;DR: It is established that the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) can serve as the core of a global bioidentification system for animals and will provide a reliable, cost–effective and accessible solution to the current problem of species identification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barcoding animal life: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 divergences among closely related species
TL;DR: It is indicated that sequence divergences at COI regularly enable the discrimination of closely allied species in all animal phyla except the Cnidaria and constraints on intraspecific mitochondrial DNA divergence arising through selective sweeps mediated via interactions with the nuclear genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
An inexpensive, automation-friendly protocol for recovering high-quality DNA
TL;DR: This study presents a silica-based method that is sensitive, inexpensive and compliant with automation that has now been tested on more than 5000 animal specimens with highly positive results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological identifications through DNA barcodes: the case of the Crustacea
L. Filipe O. Costa,Jeremy R deWaard,James A. Boutillier,Sujeevan Ratnasingham,Robert T Dooh,Mehrdad Hajibabaei,Paul D. N. Hebert +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that sequence variation in the COI barcode region will be very effective for discriminating species of Crustacea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical factors for assembling a high volume of DNA barcodes
Mehrdad Hajibabaei,Jeremy R deWaard,Natalia Ivanova,Sujeevan Ratnasingham,Robert T Dooh,Stephanie L Kirk,Paula M. Mackie,Paul D. N. Hebert +7 more
TL;DR: The prospects for establishing high volume DNA barcoding facilities by evaluating key steps in the analytical chain from specimens to barcodes are discussed, with a focus on alliances with members of the taxonomic community.
