DNA Barcoding and Phylogenetic Relationships of Selected South Indian Freshwater Fishes Based on mtDNA COI Sequences

Abstract

Manickam Raja and Pachiappan Perumal

DNA barcoding is an effective tool for the identification of species representing diverse taxa especially through the sequence analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. In the present study, DNA barcodes were generated from 46 species of freshwater fishes covering the Orders Cypriniformes, Siluriformes, Synbranchiformes and Perciformes representing 30 genera under 9 families. All the samples were collected from diverse sites which also includes some endemic species. A total of 47 COI sequences were generated. After amplification and sequencing of 678 base pair fragment of COI, primers were trimmed which invariably generated a 635 base pair barcode sequence. The average Kimura two-parameter (K2P) distances within-species, genera, families, and orders were 0.32%, 8.40%, 14.50%, and 18.65%, respectively. DNA barcode discriminated congeneric species without any confusion. The present study strongly supports the efficiency of COI as an ideal marker for DNA barcoding of selected freshwater fishes.
