1.5 Evaluation of the ease of test barcode sequence
acquisition
Success rates of PCR amplification and sequencing of the
considered DNA barcode markers for the genus were assessed.
A single PCR band obtained was considered as successful
amplification. A high quality chromatogram counted
as successful sequencing. The success rate of PCR amplification
multiplied by that of sequencing produced the overall
success rate of PCR amplification and sequencing.
