Validation of mtDNA control-region sequences in GenBank for large baleen whales
The phylogenetic 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 922 sequences from baleen whales published in Genbank prior to 2007. Of these, 42 sequences were identified as be...
