Molecular data will be limited to DNA sequences, with identification relying heavily on Genbank returns via blastN. The researchers would obtain their samples from the generated database and analyze the DNA barcode of each macroalgae. The researchers would also compare the previous list of discovered seaweeds from Panglao island to generate a new and updated version for this study. The research would no text end outside or to the neighboring islands around Panglao, Bohol. Neither would the researchers add or include specimens that did not appear in the database or originate from Panglao island.
