Genetic variability of Myzus persicae nicotianae densovirus based on partial NS and VP gene sequences
INTRODUCTION
Analysis of the mitochondrial COI gene and its informative potential for evolutionary inferences in the families Coreidae and Pentatomidae (Heteroptera)
The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene is one of the most popular markers used for molecular systematics. Fragments of this gene are often used to infer phylogenies, particularly the region near the 5'-end, which is used by the DNA Barcoding Consortium.
Molecular identification of the genus Thryssa based on DNA barcoding
DNA barcoding is an effective method for identifying species by analyzing one or a few short standardized DNA sequences. In this study, we examined the utility of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences as a DNA barcode for the identification of six species belonging to the genus Thryssa: T. dussumieri, T. hamiltonii, T. kammalensis, T. mystax, T. setirostris, and T. vitrirostris. We obtained an intraspecific distance of 0.000 for T. vitrirostris and T.
