Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is widely used as a DNA barcoding marker; however, its ability to discriminate closely related camelid species and capture intraspecific variation in Camelus dromedarius remains insufficiently assessed at a global scale. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, we sequenced COI from 20 Algerian dromedaries and combined these data with publicly...
