[Taxacom] Identification by what method?

[Stephen Thorpe]

Sound like gold standard propaganda by gel jockeys! If taxonomy was all done, then it MIGHT work, but taxonomy aint all done!

 Howdy All,
 
 Recently someone stated to me that the gold standard of
 biodiversity
 identification was gene sequencing.   Which
 got me to thinking - how often
 is gene sequencing used for ID as compared to traditional
 methods of
 identification?  My Google-fu is strong and can find
 zilch out there.  Anyone
 know of any papers that discuss this?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Tim
