Diat.barcode, an open-access curated barcode library for diatoms
(Nature Research, 2019-10-22)
Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are ubiquitous microalgae which produce a siliceous exoskeleton and which make a major contribution to the productivity of oceans and freshwaters. They display a huge diversity, ...
Metadata standards and practical guidelines for specimen and DNA curation when building barcode reference libraries for aquatic life
(Pensoft Publishers, 2021-02-26)
DNA barcoding and metabarcoding is increasingly used to effectively and precisely assess and monitor biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. As these methods rely on data availability and quality of barcode ...
The potential of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) of natural samples as a source of primary taxonomic information for reference libraries of diatom barcodes
(Czech Phycological Society, 2018-02-27)
Diatoms are used routinely to assess pollution level in rivers and lakes. Current methods are based on identification by light microscopy, which is laborious. An alternative is to identify species based ...
