DNA barcodes [electronic resource] : methods and protocols / edited by W. John Kress, David L. Erickson.

A DNA barcode in its simplest definition is one or more short gene sequences taken from a standardized portion of the genome that is used to identify species through reference to DNA sequence libraries or databases. In DNA Barcodes: Methods and Protocols expert researchers in the field detail many o...
