Complete sequence of chloroplast genome from Sargassum vachellianum (Sargassaceae, Phaeophyceae): Genome structure and comparative analysis by Yanhui Bi, Jiali Li, Zhigang Zhou

“…In addition, 25 SSR loci and 28 highly variable regions were identified from the S. vachellianum cpDNA, which might be used as candidates for developing DNA barcode markers of Sargassum species. The phylogenetic tree based on datasets of all the plastid-encoded proteins demonstrated that species of S. subgenus Bactrophycus were firstly combined and then clustered with S. vachellianum, which belongs to S. subgen. …”

Barcoding Fauna Bavarica: Myriapoda – a contribution to DNA sequence-based identifications of centipedes and millipedes (Chilopoda, Diplopoda) by Joerg Spelda, Hans Reip, Ulla Oliveira Biener, Roland Melzer

“…We give examples of (1) high interspecific sequence variability among closely related species; (2) low interspecific variability in some chordeumatidan genera, indicating that recent speciations cannot be resolved with certainty using COI DNA barcodes; (3) high intraspecific variation in some genera, suggesting the existence of cryptic lineages; and (4) the possible polyphyly of some taxa, i.e. the chordeumatidan genus Ochogona. …”
