Take out the rubbish – Removing NUMTs and pseudogenes from the <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> cryptic species mtCOI database
2019-08-05
Abstract excerpt
Identification of Bemisia tabaci cryptic whitefly species complex currently relies on molecular characterisation of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) partial gene, however, nuclear mitochondrial sequences (NUMTs), PCR-derived pseudogenes and/or poor sequence editing have hindered this effort. To-date, ca. 5,175 partial (≥ 300bp) mtCOI sequences for species identification purposes have be...
