What Is a DNA Barcode? A DNA barcode is a short, standardized region of the genome used to identify an organism to species. Strictly, the DNA barcode is the sequence or genomic region used as the ...

DNA barcoding employs a standardised fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene to assign specimens to species and uncover hidden lineages. In the Neotropical region, one of the globe’s ...

There are millions of species on Earth that we still know nothing about. Researchers call these species "biological dark matter," but new methods can provide us with a better overview more quickly.

DNA barcoding employs short, standardised genetic regions to identify plant species by comparing unknown samples against a reference library of verified sequences. Unlike the mitochondrial COI gene ...
