COins database

COins is a database of COI-5P sequences of insects that includes over 532,000 representative sequences of more than 106,000 species specifically formatted for the QIIME2 software platform. It was developed through a combination of automated and manually curated steps, starting from insects COI sequences available in the Barcode of Life Data System selecting sequences that comply to several standards, including a species-level identification. <br> <br> <br> <br> <strong>seq-degapped.qza</strong> --&gt; reference sequences <br> <strong>taxonomy.qza</strong> --&gt; sequences taxonomy <br> <strong>Sequences_metadata1.tsv</strong> --&gt; Identification procedure of voucher specimens from which reference sequences were developed. Identification procedure is reported for each sequence included in CO<em>ins</em> (BOLD id reported in <em>BOLDid reference</em> column) and for all identical sequences within haplotypes that were removed at Step 5 of CO<em>ins</em> curation (those for which BOLD id is not available in <em>BOLDid reference </em>column). The haplotype to which each sequence belongs is reported in <em>Haplotype</em> column (haplotypes of each species are labeled with increasing numbers). Identification procedure information derived from sequences associated metadata provided by BOLD system. <br> <strong>Sequences_metadata2.tsv </strong>--&gt; Identical sequences belonging to different species present within CO<em>ins</em>. Each row represents a cluster of identical sequences associated to different species, sequences included in the cluster are labeled with species name and BOLD id. <br>
