DNA条形码为物种鉴定提供了一种快速有效的工具，改变了生态、进化和保护等领域。DNA条形码作为生物学家的一种资源，随着计算和测序技术的进步而增长，这些技术使高通量条形码应用成为可能。由于国际财团的努力和不断扩大的生物收藏，全球DNA条形码数据库正在扩大，以代表地球上物种的多样性。今天，DNA条形码有助于促进我们对物种如何进化、它们如何相互作用以及我们如何减缓它们的灭绝和灭绝的理解。本文主要介绍DNA条形码序列在解决基本研究领域中的应用现状，以及DNA条形码将发挥核心作用的新的和不断扩展的应用。
DNA barcoding has transformed the fields of ecology, evolution, and conservation by providing a rapid and effective tool for species identification. The growth of DNA barcodes as a resource for biologists has followed advances in computational and sequencing technology that have enabled high-throughput barcoding applications. The global DNA barcode database is expanding to represent the diversity of species on Earth thanks to efforts by international consortia and expanding biological collections. Today, DNA barcoding is instrumental in advancing our understanding of how species evolve, how they interact, and how we can slow down their extirpation and extinction. This review focuses on current applications of DNA barcode sequences to address fundamental lines of research, as well as new and expanding applications of which DNA barcoding will play a central role.
