What What isis DNA Barcoding? DNA Barcoding?

Definition: Derivation of short DNA sequence(s) that enables species identification or recognition in a particular domain of life (e.g., eucaryotes).

Focus to date: For animals, a 658 base-pair fragment of the mitochondrial gene, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI).

Barcode of Life Initiative (BOLI) will resolve barcodes for named species and use a barcoding approach to assess undescribed biological diversity.

What isn’t DNA Barcoding?

It is not intended to, in any way, supplant or invalidate existing taxonomic practice.

It is not DNA taxonomy; it does not equate species identity, formally or informally, with a particular DNA sequence.

It is not intended to duplicate or compete with efforts to resolve deep phylogeny (e.g., Assembling the Tree of Life, ATOL).

Page 5: Rob Jennings – University of Connecticut, USA Photos by R.R. Hopcroft – University of Alaska, USA L.P. Madin – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA

DNA is particularly useful to study animal plankton, because the organisms are frequently rare, fragile, and/or small.

Evolutionarily-conserved body plans for some groups (e.g., copepods) makes morphological identification difficult and mistakes likely.

Many species are widespread or circumglobal; DNA can be used to evaluate taxonomic significance of geographic variation.

DNA-based species identification will speed analysis of samples for known species.

Zooplankton will test barcode protocols, since 15 animal groups (phyla) are represented.

Link morphological / molecular systematic analysis for global zooplankton assemblage

DNA barcode ~7,000 described species in 15 phyla

Submit DNA, specimen & collection data:- Barcode section of GenBank- CMarZ database with environmental

data- Searchable from OBIS portal

Reveal cryptic species within circumglobal species by population genetic analysis

Discover new species by sampling biodiversity hotspots, unexplored ocean regions, deep sea

Assess zooplankton diversity by ‘environmental sequencing’ of unsorted samples

Develop automatable DNA chip-based approaches and protocols to identify and quantify species

Barcoding Ostracods (Crustacea)Barcoding Ostracods (Crustacea)

Ostracod species differed in mtCOI sequence by 15% to 38% for 19 species (15 more completed). Barcoding for Ostracods:

• Good species identification

• Cryptic variation within species

Page 8: Rob Jennings – University of Connecticut, USA Photos by R.R. Hopcroft – University of Alaska, USA L.P. Madin – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA

Barcoding Euphausiids (Crustacea)Barcoding Euphausiids (Crustacea)

Fourteen of 86 euphausiid species were identified by Peter Wiebe.

50 euphausiids including

19 species of Euphausia have been barcoded to date.

Barcoding for Euphausiids:

• Good at species identification

• Can reveal cryptic species

Barcoding Planktonic GastropodsBarcoding Planktonic Gastropods

MtCOI barcodes for 17 species of gastropods (pteropods and heteropods) differed by 1.4% to 44%.

Barcoding for Gastropods:

• Good at species identification

• Less consistent species phylogeny

Barcoding Arctic Zooplankton Barcoding Arctic Zooplankton

ArcOD (Arctic Ocean Diversity) sends identified specimens of Arctic zooplankton for barcoding by CMarZ.

Comprehensive DNA database of ~210 species of the Central Arctic assemblage is underway.

DNA obtained from ~50 species already, comprising several dates and locations; work in progress at UConn

Global-scale analysis of zooplankton species diversity; integrated morphological and molecular analysis.

DNA barcodes for all ~6,800 known species of 15 phyla in the zooplankton.

Species discovery by CMarZ will double

number of zooplankton species- sampling new ocean regions

(deep sea)

- cryptic species within

circumglobal species

Got specimens? CMarZ encourages and challenges the CoML community to provide identified specimens of holozooplankton groups for barcoding. A DNA barcode (700 base-pair region of mtCOI with replicates / metadata) will be determined for appropriately preserved (i.e., frozen or in alcohol) and identified holozooplankton specimens. Contact Rob Jennings ([email protected]).

Got data? DNA barcodes for zooplankton should be submitted to: 1. BARCODE section of GenBank (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BankIt/barcode) 2. Barcode of Life Database (BOLD; see www.barcodinglife.org.
