ALucaBOL is a DNA barcode database of Asian stag beetles. DNA barcoding is a taxonomic method that uses a short genetic marker in an organism's DNA to identify it as belonging to a particular species. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial region (COI) is emerging as the standard barcode region for higher animals. It is ca 650 nucleotide base pairs long in most groups-a very short sequence. The data of ALucaBOL contain standard DNA barcode region and other ones. In insects DNA barcode data of butterflies, mosquitoes and bees have been accumulated. We will accumulate Asian sag beetle DNA barcode data and continue to open to the public.
The total number of specimens in ALucaBOL at present is 32 (February 20, 2015). Each record consists of 40 items in the format of the Darwin Core of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), including scientific name, country, collection locality, collection date, collector, etc. of the specimen as well as its barcode data.
The ALucaBOL is managed by a text database management system SIGMA.
The ALucaBOL file is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
The use of data in this database is free of charge if the objective is academic study or educational purposes.
