Abstract
The success of character based DNA barcoding depends on the efficient identification of
diagnostic character states from molecular sequences that have been organized
hierarchically (e.g., according to phylogenetic methods). Similarly, the reliability of these
identified diagnostic character states must be assessed according to their ability to
diagnose new sequences. Here, a set of software tools is presented that implement the
previously described Characteristic Attribute Organization System for both diagnostic
identification and diagnostic-based classification. The software is publicly available from
http://sarkarlab.mbl.edu/CAOS.
