Streamlining DNA barcoding protocols: automated DNA extraction and a new cox1 primer in arachnid systematics.
BACKGROUND: DNA barcoding is a popular tool in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies, but for most animal lineages protocols for obtaining the barcoding sequences--mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (cox1 AKA CO1)--are not standardized. Our aim was to explore an optimal strategy for arachnids...
