New DNA Barcoding blog
dna-barcoding.blogspot.com Since mid August Dirk Steinke from the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario runs a new blog on DNA Barcoding. Steinke, a researcher involved in barcoding for seven years, plans to release posts on a more or less daily basis. Topics focus on species discovery, application of DNA Barcoding, and technical advances. “I will try to […]
DNA barcodes for NEON’s terrestrial insects
Short- and long-term development and applications David Hoekman, Cara Gibson, and Kali Blevins The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a National Science Foundation sponsored project designed to gather and make publicly available 30 years of ecological data on the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive species on natural resources and biodiversity. […]
Madagascar study finds 40 new reptiles
DNA barcoding provides a clear advantage for conservation A DNA barcoding study targeting the entire reptile fauna of the biodiversity hotspot of Madagascar identified over 40 new species of snakes, skinks, chameleons and geckos. Using a newly developed set of reptile-specific primers for COI, the research team from Brussels, Munich and Brunswick compared gene sequences […]
DNA barcodes go underground
GBOL-project ‘Subterranean Fauna’ Alexander M. Weigand (Goethe University Frankfurt) High degrees of endemism, low levels of gene-flow and limited food resources are not only characteristics of oceanic islands but similarly well describe subterranean environments. Cave endemics are frequently reported even from a morphology-only point of view. Considering the likeliness of cave-dwelling taxa adapting in convergent […]
DNA Barcoding of Natural Health Products
Why sometimes reading the label just isn’t enough Lauren Wallace (graduate student of McMaster University) Think that it is alright to take Natural Health Product labels at face value? Think again. In fact, Natural Health Products are frequently mislabelled. Our barcoding study, conducted at the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, Guelph, and guided by Mehrdad Hajibabaei, […]
