DNA barcoding of marine polychaetes species of southern Patagonian fjords

Accurate species identification remains a basic first step in any study of biodiversity, particularly for global changes and their consequences. Thus, there is a pressing need for taxonomic expertise in a broad range of taxa. DNA barcoding has proved to be a powerful alternative method to traditional morphological approaches, allowing to complement identification techniques for living organisms. In this study, we assess intraspecific and interspecific genetic divergence among marine polychaetes from Patagonian fjords of southern Chile, using mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene. Our results showed that a total of 13 polychaetes species identified in this study exhibited high levels of interspecific variation among 31 analyzed sequences.
