Abstract

The accumulation of DNA barcode sequences will provide an increasingly useful and comprehensive library for species identification and discovery of marine metazoans. Here we present a summary of protocols designed to obtain DNA barcodes of marine metazoans from diverse phyla.

Keywords: DNA barcoding; Metazoa; Primer; Protocols; Species identification.
