Abstract
Because of DNA degradation on some special occasion, it’s necessary to compress the length of DNA barcodes, so that we could identify species more efficiently. In this study, we analyze the accordance of some attributes between the truncated DNA barcode sequences and the full length DNA barcodes sequences for birds. Our comparative analysis provides an approach that both middle-barcodes and mini-barcodes could be used to discriminate among species. Although the accuracy of truncated barcodes is lower than the full length DNA barcodes, there is a trade-off between efficiency and accuracy for truncated barcodes when they are used for species identification.
