Thysanoptera COI Barcode Reference Database

Description

This database consists of an extract of the BOLD (Barcode of Life Data Systems) database, retrieved on 19 October 2026. It includes all COI barcode sequences identified as belonging to the order Thysanoptera and longer than 500 bp.

An additional 47 COI sequences from the INRAE UMRCBGP (Centre de Biologie pour la Gestion des Populations), entomological collection database (Arthemis database", https://doi.org/10.15454/TBGRIB) were added to the BOLD dataset 


Data contents

The database contains COI barcode sequences from Thysanoptera originating from two sources:

    BOLD: all available sequences matching the taxonomic and length criteria described above, as retrieved on 19 October 2026.

    INRAE entomological collection: 47 additional sequences from the laboratory's entomological collection database (Arthemis database", https://doi.org/10.15454/TBGRIB)

Intended use

This reference database is intended for the molecular identification and taxonomic assignment of Thysanoptera based on COI barcode sequences.
Data provenance and limitations

The taxonomic information and sequence annotations reflect the information available in the original databases at the time of retrieval. Sequence identification and taxonomic assignments should be interpreted with caution, as reference sequences may contain errors or incomplete taxonomic information.
