  • Published:
Biology Bulletin Reviews Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract—

The DNA barcoding method proposed 15 years ago has gained considerable popularity. This work provides a review of methodical approaches in this field and their progress over the past years. Direct and reverse approaches to DNA barcoding and their prospects due to the development of sequencing methods are discussed.
