Frequency matrix approach demonstrates high sequence quality in avian BARCODEs and highlights cryptic pseudogenes.
The accuracy of DNA barcode databases is critical for research and practical applications. Here we apply a frequency matrix to assess sequencing errors in a very large set of avian BARCODEs. Using 11,000 sequences from 2,700 bird species, we show most avian cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) nucleotide an...
