- Abstract
The article discusses the use of DNA barcoding in assessing global biodiversity patterns. Essential to the success of DNA barcoding is said to be the thorough coverage of clades and guilds. It demonstrates that the primers, such as the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I mitochondrial gene (COI), used in DNA barcoding may prove problematic in light of their ability to amplify nontarget cold-adapted marine gammaproteobacteria. It also illustrates the homologous priming site sequences obtained from whole prokaryotic genome data.
