DNA barcoding is a method of species identification using a short section of DNA from a specific gene or genes. The premise of DNA barcoding is that by comparison with a reference library of such DNA sections (also called "sequences"), an individual sequence can be used to uniquely identify an organism to species, just as a supermarket scanner uses the familiar black stripes of the UPC barcode ...
Because of its web-based delivery and flexible data security model, it is also well positioned to support projects that involve broad research alliances. [3] Data release of BOLD mainly originated from a project BARCODE 500K [5] executed by the International Barcode of Life (iBOL) Consortium from 2010 to 2015. It aimed for data acquisition of ...
DNA barcoding of cyanobacteria can be applied in various ecological, evolutionary and taxonomical studies. Some examples include assessment of cyanobacterial diversity and community structure, [ 34 ] identification of harmful cyanobacteria in ecologically and economically important waterbodies [ 35 ] and assessment of cyanobacterial symbionts ...
The DNA barcoding of animals (and specifically of bats) is used as an example in the diagram at the right and in the discussion immediately below. First, suitable DNA barcoding regions are chosen to answer some specific research question. The most commonly used DNA barcode region for animals is a segment about 600 base pairs long of the ...
The barcoded DNA fragments are amplified using PCR to create a library of DNA fragments with identical barcodes. All the fragments derived from a given DNA molecule are tagged with the same barcode. [4] This step increases the quantity of DNA for sequencing and reduces the chances of losing unique DNA fragments during sequencing.

DNA barcoding in diet assessment is the use of DNA barcoding to analyse the diet of organisms. [1] [2] and further detect and describe their trophic interactions.[3] [4] This approach is based on the identification of consumed species by characterization of DNA present in dietary samples, [5] e.g. individual food remains, regurgitates, gut and fecal samples, homogenized body of the host ...
The ITS region is the most widely sequenced DNA region in molecular ecology of fungi [28] and has been recommended as the universal fungal barcode sequence. [29] It has typically been most useful for molecular systematics at the species to genus level, and even within species (e.g., to identify geographic races).
