A Two-Locus Global DNA Barcode for Land Plants: The Coding rbcL Gene Complements the Non-Coding trnH-psbA Spacer Region (2007, background): “The 600 bp portion of this gene used as a barcode has sequence divergence among species averaging nearly 11% and provides unambiguous species identification in more than 95% of cases for most of the major animal clades [4,9].”
Biological identifications of mayflies (Ephemeroptera) using DNA barcodes (2005, methodology): “Species in a variety of animal groups have been discriminated reliably using an ;650-base-pair fragment of the mitochondrial gene, cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) (Hebert et al. 2003a, 2004a, b, Hogg and Hebert 2004).”
DNA barcoding and taxonomy in Diptera: a tale of high intraspecific variability and low identification success. (2006, methodology): “The first was based on extensive compilations of intra-and interspecific COI distances across a wide range of taxa (Barrett and Hebert, 2005; Floyd et al., 2002; Hebert et al., 2003a; Hogg and Hebert, 2004) and they revealed that the average distances between congeneric species is relatively large.”
Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms (2008, background): “Lumbricus terrestris cytochrome oxidase I (COI) barcode region sequences (Hebert et al. 2003) show the presence of two distinct groupings (T.”
