dc.description.abstract |
The tree-based methods in DNA Surveillance, in conjunction with the curated reference sequence alignments known as Witness for the Whales, were used to assign species identities to the 499 sequences from baleen whales published in Genbank during 2007. All of the sequences were assigned to the same species as that recorded in Genbank. For the common minke whale, 73 of the 74 sequences were not indentified in Genbank as belonging to one of the subspecies, while they could be assigned unambiguously using the WFTW references. There was uncertainty regarding whether blue whale sequences could be assigned to a subspecies. All of the sequences appeared to be of reliable quality. No geographic information was recorded for nearly all of the sequences. |
