Resumo
The DNA barcode has been successfully used in identifying the global avifauna with over
90% accuracy. Correct identification of species is important for the conservation of
biodiversity and quantification. Thus this work aims to generate a database of sequences DNA
barcode related vouchers deposited in the Collection of Birds from the National Institute for
Amazonian Research (INPA) to confirm the reliability of BOLD (The Barcode of Life Data
System ) in identifying the species of Amazonian birds with the current taxonomy. A sample
was selected by species of Tissue Collection of the National Institute for Amazonian Research
(INPA), totaling 422 samples from birds. The gene used as the DNA barcode is a
mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase gene 1 (COI). Validation of the gene COI barcode DNA
as a tool for taxonomic identification of bird species in the Amazon, we had 72.9% of species
identified correctly. Among the 407 species with DNA sequenced, 90 are unpublished
sequences for BOLD. In 20 samples were indentificados taxonomic errors and only two
samples identified the BOLD wrong. The DNA barcode interacts between the Classical and
Molecular taxonomy for accurate identification of species. The results of this study
demonstrate that taxonomic tool as the DNA barcode can be used for molecular identification
of birds in the Amazon. Despite the lack of DNA sequences of Amazonian birds in the BOLD
database, the species studied in this work showed 93.5% to 100% reliability, demonstrating
the resolving power of this tool
