• Phylogenetic position and taxonomy of Cycloseris explanulata and C. wellsi (Scleractinia: Fungiidae): lost mushroom corals find their way home (2012, background): “4) due to the higher resolution of ITS1 and ITS2 regions (Chen et al., 2004; Wei et al., 2006).”

• Towards a phylogenetic classification of reef corals: the Indo‐Pacific genera Merulina, Goniastrea and Scapophyllia (Scleractinia, Merulinidae) (2014, background): “…transcribed spacers 1 and 2 (ITS; including 5.8S rDNA, with only one chromatogram peak detected per sample; Takabayashi et al. 1998a,b; see also Chen et al. 2004; Forsman et al. 2005) and mitochondrial non-coding intergenic region (IGR; between cytochrome oxidase subunit I and the…”
• Analyses of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the 5.8s gene indicate that extremely high rDNA heterogeneity is a unique feature in the scleractinian coral genus Acropora (Scleractinia; acroporidae) (2006, methodology): “Due to the extreme divergence of the 2 ITS regions between Acropora and non-Acropora corals (Chen et al. 2004), it is impossible to produce a consistent alignment of ITS-5.”
