DNA Barcoding of Insects
Trace files and sequences were uploaded to the Barcode of Life Data system (BOLD) and automatically assessed for quality based on predefined parameters (Ratnasingham and Hebert 2007). All sequences and associated metadata can be found in the public dataset DS-NBPP (GenBank Accessions OQ622469 - OQ623072). A Barcode Index Number (BIN, proxies for species distinguished sequences without an assigned taxonomic name), was assigned using the RESL algorithm on BOLD (Ratnasingham and Hebert 2013).
