DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0217084
Abstract: Taxonomic identification of biological materials can be achieved through DNA barcoding, where an unknown “barcode” sequence is compared to a reference database. In many disciplines, obtaining accurate taxonomic identifications can be imperative (e.g., evolutionary biology,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0231814
Abstract: Applications of biological knowledge, such as forensics, often require the determination of biological materials to a species level. As such, DNA-based approaches to identification, particularly DNA barcoding, are attracting increased interest. The capacity of DNA… read more here.
