DNA barcoding of Arctic Ocean holozooplankton for species identification and recognition (2010, background): “The monophyly of species in gene trees reconstructed by Neighbor-Joining is a useful indication of the reliability of the sequence for species identification, but is not the only approach to species identification using barcodes (e.g., Lef ebure et al., 2006; Kelly et al., 2007; Rach et al., 2008; R”
The campaign to DNA barcode all fishes, FISH-BOL. (2009, methodology): “Ross et al. (2008) have used simulations to examine the performance of distance and tree-based methods for species identification under a variety of scenarios.”
DNA Barcoding the Medusozoa using mtCOI (2010, background): “Second, a barcode cannot be used to describe a species, it can only identify a species based on sequence similarity in a database; therefore, an unknown species can only be accurately identified if a representative species barcode exists in the database (Ross et al., 2008).”
Use of ITS2 Region as the Universal DNA Barcode for Plants and Animals (2010, positive): “BLAST1 method based on similarity was used to evaluate the identification capacity of the ITS2 region”
The art and science of species delimitation (2015, neutral): “Studies of average divergence for a single locus (Hebert et al., 2004) are prone to large variance introduced by the random processes of coalescence and mutation accumulation (Ross et al., 2008).”
Multiple Multilocus DNA Barcodes from the Plastid Genome Discriminate Plant Species Equally Well (2008, methodology): “We assessed the various proposals for plant DNA barcoding using the percentage of well-supported monophyletic species across our sample of taxa as a criterion for predicting successful species resolution. Does this constitute a rigorous method for comparing gene regions? The relation between bootstr”
Five simple guidelines for establishing basic authenticity and reliability of newly generated fungal ITS sequences. (2012, background): “Ross et al. (2008) and Ovaskainen et al. (2010) provide interesting statistics on the performance of BLAST under varying conditions, including incomplete database coverage.”
