Özet

© 2018, Centenary University. All rights reserved.DNA barcoding is a taxonomic method that uses a short and standard genomic DNA fragment to discriminate species. An approximately 600-700 base pair (bp) region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene referred as ‘DNA barcode’ is used in insect barcoding studies. This short standart DNA sequence is not only a tool for simplifying species identification but also is used for discovery of new species. Furthermore DNA barcoding enables the detection of cryptic species via delimiting species boundaries. Here we reviewed the historical and conceptual perspective of DNA barcoding term, the gene regions used as DNA barcodes and COI gene which is ideal species-identification marker in insects. Furthermore we discussed the advantages and limitations of DNA barcoding and presented DNA barcoding studies in entomology.
