ITS2+ trnH - psbA was the best combination of DNA barcode to resolve the Dalbergia wood species studied. We demonstrate the feasibility of building a DNA barcode reference database using xylarium wood specimens. The increase ...

Species substitution is a form of fish fraud for the main purpose of economic gain. DNA Barcode is a methodology that uses species-specific DNA sequence information for its identification. Previous work has established the ...

Amphibians are one of the most threatened vertebrate classes, yet at the same time new species are being described every year, demonstrating that the number of existing species is grossly underestimated. In groups such as ...

A record of a juvenile Porbeagle, Lamna nasus, in the coastal waters of Argentina is confirmed by DNA barcoding, since the specimen lacked some external diagnostic features. We discuss the occurrence of this species in the ...

DNA barcoding has been proposed as a useful tool for forensic wood identification and development of a reliable DNA reference library is an essential first step. Xylaria (wood collections) are potentially enormous data ...

The mitochondrial gene COI is widely used as a molecular marker, and the region used for DNA barcoding is getting more and more popular to species delimitation and identification. However, the evolution patterns can vary ...

Main conclusion Machine-learning approaches (MLAs) for DNA barcoding outperform distance- and tree-based methods on identification accuracy and cost-effectiveness to arrive at species-level identification of wood. DNA ...
