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).
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.
Why Barcode Zooplankton?Why Barcode Zooplankton?
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 Goals for CMarZBarcoding Goals for CMarZ
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
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 Medusozoans (Cnidaria)Barcoding Medusozoans (Cnidaria)
• Barcoding is done by
Brian Ortman (UConn/USA).
• 13 species of
siphonophores• greatly expanded, much
of siphonophore diversity
(160 spp.)
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
Barcoding cruises
“DNA sensitive” collection protocols- anyone can collect
Standardized and web-available sampling and processing protocols
Taxonomic training Molecular training
Increased ability to use preserved (e.g. formalin) samples
Distributed network of barcoding centers
Local taxonomic expertise
Care of specimens
Capacity-building

CMarZ Barcoding CentersCMarZ Barcoding CentersCMarZ Barcoding CentersCMarZ Barcoding Centers
• Existing barcoding centers• UConn, USA Oviedo, Spain ORI, Japan
• Emergent barcoding centers• Qingdao, China Goa, India
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
Results and ConclusionsResults and Conclusions
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.
