DNA Barcoding:
A simple way of identifying
species by DNA
Mark Y. Stoeckle, M.D.
Program for the Human Environment
The Rockefeller University
• What, Why, Where
• Student Discoveries
• Large-scale Patterns
DNA barcode: a
short, standardized gene
region for identifying
animal, plant, and fungal
species
WHAT, WHY, WHERE
Why DNA to ID species?
• Bits and Pieces
• Immature Forms
• Multitude of Species
Where Apply DNA ID?
• Human Health
• Environment
• Scientific Discovery
?
FOR EXAMPLE:
FOOD SAFETY, ACCURACY
DISEASE VECTORS
Culex pipiens
WEST NILE VIRUS
Culicens incidens
NON-VECTOR
Egg raft

PROJECT
Aim: Establishing legal DNA barcode standards for
endangered and threatened species

Proc Royal Soc London B 2003
Ideal DNA barcode
• Present in all organisms
• Distinguishes all species
• Easy to amplify and sequence
Agreed-upon standards
• Animals: COI (mitochondrial)
• Plants: matK+rbcL (chloroplast)
• Fungi: ITS (nuclear)
5’ COI
• 5’ cytochrome c oxidase subunit I
• distinguishes 95% species
Standard DNA barcode for animals

BIG challenge: 1.9M species
1 square = 10,000 species Other plants

(and eat) 2. Sample
3. Document
What they did
4. Sequence
5. Match to database
What they found
-One-quarter samples mislabeled,
all as more expensive or more
desirable fish
-Mislabeling in 6/10 groceries/fish
markets and 2/3 restaurants
For example
Story attracted wide interest

Social media metrics: 98th percentile “Online Attention”
• 1/3 of herbal teas had unlisted ingredients
• incl chamomile, lawn grass, weeds
TeaBOL “DIY” DNA lab
(~$5K equipment)
Student investigations inspired…
2011-12: 75 teams, 218 students, 30 high schools
LARGE SCALE PATTERNS?
Cameron Coffran, Mark Y. Stoeckle
Rockefeller University
SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
LARGE TREES HARD TO “READ”
For example:
“boxes” = species; size reflects # seqs/species
Species are species, whether butterflies or birds

What
Students and other citizen scientists
collect American cockroaches and
analyze their genetic diversity
Why
• Are there different genetic types?
• Do they differ between buildings, cities?
• Are there undiscovered species?
NCP Researchers
FIELD WORK
• NCP field collectors (37 individuals so far)

DNA Barcoding: A simple way of identifying species by DNA

Notas del editor

  1. Why use DNA to identify species? First, lots of the things we want to identify are in bits and pieces. For instance, this is a photomicrograph of bat guano and is filled with undigested bits of insects from what the bat ate. An expert might be able to pick out a few pieces as being from a beetle or a moth for instance. But all the pieces have DNA. The DNA may be damaged but it is intact enough to recover the short DNA barcode segment. So DNA barcoding can be really helpful for food webs. Second, lots of things are immature forms that look more or less alike even though they are different species. By appearance it’s hard or sometimes impossible to tell one fish egg from another, or larval forms of insects, or non-flowering parts of plants such as leaves or roots. Third, there are just a lot of species. This are moths attracted to a light in Costa Rica. There are 160,000 species of moths in the world. Even an expert can identify only a few thousand. If you wanted to use experts to identify these, you’d first have to sort them out and send to specialists who were expert in particular groups. This would be slow and expensive. DNA testing can help anyone match the insects to their names.
  2. We can apply this to look at groups of species. We see the same pattern of blocks of highly-correlated sequences.
  3. What’s next? This summer we started a “National Cockroach Project”
