A new method for species identification via protein-coding and non-coding DNA barcodes by combining machine learning with bioinformatic methods.

Species identification via DNA barcodes is contributing greatly to current bioinventory efforts. The initial, and widely accepted, proposal was to use the protein-coding cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) region as the standard barcode for animals, but recently non-coding internal transcribed spac...
