Table 1.
Ranking Sequence Reliability. Ranking of source materials of genetic sequences based on reliability of taxonomic identification. Examples of the source material are listed in the third column with the last column providing the corresponding GenSeq nomenclature.
| Reliability Ranking | Source Materials | Examples | Corresponding GenSeq Nomenclature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest 1ST | Primary Types | Holotype, Lectotype, Syntype, Isosyntype, Neotype, Isotype | genseq-1 |
| 2nd | Secondary Types | Paratype, Paralectotypes, etc. | genseq-2 |
| 3rd | Topotypes (vouchered), or non-type specimens listed in original description or redescription | Topotype, Non-type specimen listed in original description or redescription | genseq-3 |
| 4th | Collections-vouchered non-types (not from original description or redescription) | Vouchered specimen | genseq-4 |
| 5th | Photo voucher only | No specimen voucher but photo voucher available | genseq-5 |
| Lowest | No voucher | Non-vouchered | No classification |
