Abstract

DNA barcoding is a widely used molecular approach for species cataloging for unambiguous identification and conservation. In the present study , DNA barcoding of some West African mammals were performed with six new mitochondrial CO1 sequences for Civettictis civetta , Tadarida nigeriae , Orycteropus afer , Heliosciurus gambianus , Equus africanus asinus and Funisciurus anerythrus which are absent in public databases such as BLAST/NCBI and BOLD. Sequence identifications were made by comparing unknown sequences against the DNA barcodes of known species through distance - based tree construction and alignment probing. The sequences have been deposited t o GenBank/NCBI.
