An international consortium of major natural history museums, herbaria and other
organizations has launched an ambitious project, the 'Barcode of Life Initiative', to promote a …

DNA barcoding is a technique for identifying organisms based on a short, standardized
fragment of genomic DNA. The standardized sequence region is called a DNA barcode …

DNA barcoding has attracted attention with promises to aid in species identification and
discovery; however, few well-sampled datasets are available to test its performance. We …

DNA barcoding is a novel system designed to provide rapid, accurate, and automatable
species identifications by using short, standardized gene regions as internal species tags …

DNA barcoding and DNA taxonomy have recently been proposed as solutions to the crisis of
taxonomy and received significant attention from scientific journals, grant agencies, natural …

DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA
sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range …

Background DNA barcoding aims to provide an efficient method for species-level
identifications using an array of species specific molecular tags derived from the 5′ region …

Background DNA sequences are increasingly seen as one of the primary information
sources for species identification in many organism groups. Such approaches, popularly …

Background DNA barcoding, ie the use of a 648 bp section of the mitochondrial gene
cytochrome c oxidase I, has recently been promoted as useful for the rapid identification and …

DNA barcodes, like traditional sources of taxonomic information, are potentially powerful
heuristics in the identification of described species but require mindful analytical …
