Although much biological research depends upon species diagnoses, taxonomic expertise is collapsing. We are convinced that the sole prospect for a sustainable identification capability lies in the construction of systems that employ DNA sequences as taxon ‘barcodes’. It was established previously that the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) can serve as the core of a global bioidentification system for animals. A new tools were developed recently to be complementary markers for (COI) DNA barcoding.
