Instances of erroneous DNA barcoding of metazoan invertebrates: Are universal cox1 gene primers too "universal"?
The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene is the main mitochondrial molecular marker playing a pivotal role in phylogenetic research and is a crucial barcode sequence. Folmer's "universal" primers designed to amplify this gene in metazoan invertebrates allowed quick and easy barc...
