A DNA barcoding framework for taxonomic verification in the Darwin Tree of Life Project
Published in Wellcome Open Research, 2024
Biodiversity genomics research requires reliable organismal identification, which can be difficult based on morphology alone. DNA-based identification using DNA barcoding can provide confirmation of species identity and resolve taxonomic issues but is rarely used in studies generating reference genomes.
