Abstract:
Terrapins inhabit brackish water and coastal salt marshes. Terrapins are adapted to intermediate salinities but frequently face saltwater-inundated marsh habitats. To date, 12 species of terrapin have been reported worldwide. The present study aims to determine the global utility of terrapin DNA barcoding using novel COI sequences and compare them to other COI sequences previously published in BOLD systems and GenBank. A total of 26 COI sequences of worldwide terrapins were assessed in this study, including 13 COI sequences generated from field sampling on the east and west coasts of Peninsular Malaysia. Nevertheless, the conservation status of the terrapins is also taken into account for sustainability priority. The assessment of the COI sequences with the UPGMA tree identified three families, with 33% of terrapins being classified as least concern (LC) and 25% of them being classified as critically endangered (CR). In this study, we looked at the genome and bioinformatics of terrapins, which could be used as a starting point for future research on terrapin species all over the world.
Keywords: DNA Barcoding; BOLD Systems; GenBank; sustainability; UPGMA tree and critically endangered.

Q1. What were the main data processing problems you faced in your research?
Thank you for your question. For your information, research papers on freshwater turtles are quite limited or we can call a "critically endangered study" :-) compared to sea turtles study papers. Therefore in order to validate the data that I have collected is far more challenging than what you see in this paper. Other than that, this manuscript is written during the pandemic, therefore you can see my own data so limited due to the Malaysian Movement Control Order.
Q2. What are the actions being taken in Malaysia to promote turtle conservation?
From my observation, so far Malaysian doing well in terms of turtles conservation and I can say so much more ahead compared to the neighbouring countries.
a. We have Royal Malaysian Customs Department to control the turtles trades in Malaysia.
b. We have well-known organisations in enforcement and conserving turtles in Malaysia such as the Fisheries Department, Turtles Conservation Society of Malaysia and Department of Wildlife and Nation Parks, Peninsular Malaysia.
c. We have so many turtles conservation centres almost in every state in Malaysia which run ecotourism/rural tourism for the local community and international tourists.
d. I think we have almost five years of practising no plastic straws and no plastic bags in order to save turtles from floating danger.
e. For your information, an example: Southern river terrapin is a Critically Endangered species in the world by IUCN Red List. This species is almost extinct in the wild in neighbouring countries but in Malaysia we still sustain it.
Thank you, so much.
