…et al apply mitochondrial DNA analysis to argue that the Cape Verde kite is not genetically distinct from the Black kite Milvus migrans and does not merit separate conservation status….
…this study is that the COI region analyzed does not match the COI barcode region. By my analysis the 538-bp fragment analyzed in this study starts at position 359 in…
…larger, which does not appear to be the case. Whole genome sequencing is increasingly inexpensive and might enable determination of whether the A. denticulata clusters represent different species, and might…
The DNA barcode for animals is a 648 base pair (bp) fragment from the 5′ end of mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). Does this relatively short mitochondrial…
…Channel on Sunday March 10th & 17th 2013 from 8-10pm Eastern.  The show is also airing globally on the Wild Channel but each region does its own scheduling (hence…
…proportional to population size? If not, does the observed range of variation fit with commonly proposed modifications to neutral theory? In addition, we examine whether molecular clock measurements conform to…
…is consistent with general observation that rbcL varies less among closely-related species than does matK. Results were similar when 22 matK Dendrobium sp. sequences from GenBank were added to analysis…
…in all eukaryotic organisms, evolves rapidly as compared to nuclear DNA, and does not undergo meiosis and recombination, processes that scramble the evolutionary lineages of nuclear genes. Because it is…

…all eukaryotes (2 million named species). Thus DNA-based classification of bacteria, at least as presently applied, does not meet the goals of DNA barcoding, which aims to capture species-level differences….
