Identification Request

The BOLD Identification System (IDS) for COI accepts sequences from the 5' region of the mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene and returns a species-level identification when one is possible. Further validation with independent genetic markers will be desirable in some forensic applications.

The BOLD Identification System (IDS) for ITS is the default identification tool for Fungal barcodes and accepts sequences from the Internal Transcribed Spacer Region
and returns a species-level identification when possible. Further validation with independent genetic markers will be desirable in some forensic applications.
The BLAST algorithm is employed in place of the standard BOLD identification engine for ITS sequences.

There are very few ITS records on BOLD so most queries will likely not return a successful match.

The BOLD Identification System (IDS) for rbcL and matK is the default identification tool for Plant barcodes and accepts sequences from the Ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase and Maturase K genes. It returns a species-level identification when possible. Further validation with independent genetic markers will be desirable in
some forensic applications.
The BLAST algorithm is employed in place of the standard BOLD identification engine for rbcL and matK sequences.
