A new method for identifying vertebrates using only their mitochondrial DNA

A new method for determining whether or not a mitrochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence belongs to a vertebrate is described and tested. This method only needs the mtDNA sequence of the organism in question, and unlike alignment based methods, it does not require it to be compared with anything else. The method is tested on all 1877 mtDNA sequences that were on NCBI's nucleotide database on August 12, 2009, and works in 94.57% of the cases. Furthermore, all organisms on which this method failed are closely related phylogenetically in comparison to all other organisms included in the study. A list of potential extensions to this method and open problems that emerge out of this study is presented at the end.
