Data from: ExcaliBAR: a simple and fast software utility to calculate intra- and interspecific distances from DNA barcodes

In the context of DNA Barcoding, sequences of standard marker genes for
thousands and potentially millions of individuals and species are becoming
available, requiring ever more efficient bioinformatic environments and
software algorithms for analysis. We here present ExcaliBAR (Extraction,
Calculation, Barcoding), a user-friendly software utility to facilitate
one important initial step in DNA barcoding analyses, namely the
determination of the barcoding gap between pairwise genetic distances
among and within species, based on original distance matrices computed by
MEGA software. In addition, the software is able to rename sequences
downloaded via the standard user interfaces of public databases such as
GenBank, without the need of developing and applying specific scripts for
this purpose.
