DNA Barcoding and Phylogeny of Acari Species Based on ITS and COI Markers

Figure 1

Cytochrome C oxidase I (COI) alignment fingerprint. The first row (nucleotides) shows the nucleotide composition for the consensus sequence obtained from the alignment. The second row depicts the heterogeneity of the sequences in each nucleotide position. The third row (identity) depicts constant, variable, and gaps present in the alignment. The fourth row (heterozygosity) depicts the frequency of nucleotides in each position. And finally, the fifth row (diversity) represents how variable is each site within the sequence by using the Nei and Li [80] nucleotide diversity measure. As can be shown, the region 950-1450 has been expanded, which forms the COI 3’ region sequenced in this work.
