  1. I wrote a short blog post on using alpha shapes to explore the geography of DNA barcoding data from @[email protected], see iphylo.blogspot.com/2026/05/alph.... This was a fun exercise inspired by an old Flickr blog post #dnabarcoding

  2. Registration and abstract submission is open for the 10th International Barcode of Life Conference in Bangkok, 2-6 November 2026 dnabarcodingconference.com #dnabarcoding @[email protected] @[email protected]

  3. Scientists Built a DNA Cassette Tape that Packs 360 Petabytes into a Retro Plastic Shell

  4. My mentees this year in the Urban DNA Barcoding Research Program. They'll be continuing our work on bird diversity at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY, which we've been doing for the past three years. They were doing the field component of their study, collecting feathers for DNA extraction and sequencing. #DNAbarcoding #birds #biodiversity #saltmarsh #ecology #climatechange

  9. Experimenting with using t-SNE to plot @boldsystems.bsky.social DNA barcodes in "sequence space" (in this case, defined by k-mer vectors). This example is bold-view-bf2dfe9b0db3.herokuapp.com/record/GMESB... where the BIN BOLD:ACP0173 looks to comprise two distinct clusters.

  10. Finally finished dataset of citations of @boldsystems.bsky.social datasets and uploaded it to Zenodo doi.org/10.5281/zeno... using @makedatacount.bsky.social format. This dataset lists DNA barcoding datasets with @datacite.org DOIs and the papers that cite (and/or publish) them.

  11. OK @gbif.org I'm confused. How come metabarcoding says a moth from Northern Europe and Canada is in Madagascar? #dnabarcoding This is a pretty striking distribution pattern.

  12. Next fun challenge as I explore @boldsystems.bsky.social taxonomy is how to handle a case like this where we have multiple names for the same "BIN" (AKA a putative species). Here we have multiple species names and two genera. What's the best name for this BIN (BOLD:AAF8217)?

  13. Does anybody here use the BOLD website boldsystems.org ? If so, what do you think of the new version? #dnabarcoding

    Found hundreds of species using #DNAbarcoding
    They may not be charismatic megafauna, but they're important nonetheless

    Really nice profile of #PaulHebert and #DNAbarcoding ...

    There is so much we can never otherwise learn about #biodiversity using non-DNA approaches. Nothing else stands a chance of scaling for invertebrates and fungi.

    Thanks to the team in #Guelph, here is a tiny part of what this technology revealed about my local fauna in Canberra:

  23. RT by @Plants_EFSA: Behind the scenes, indentify #2 : @aimethods DNA Barcoding.

    Black-headed leafcutter bee, Megachile circumcincta. The DNA was isolated from a leg of the bee using a liquid (lysis buffer). Means everything dissolves in it except for the chitin. Then the Co1 gene was amplified with PCR. This means that certain parts of the DNA are copied so often that they are easily detectable. Detectable for the sequencer, the next step. The 313 base pairs required for the identification are then determined here. (See colorful graphic) With the help of a worldwide database of already certain animals whose Co1 gene has been determined, the base pairs can be compared with each other.

    Blog post reviewing the #Lepidoptera species identified from #DnaBarcoding #insects from a year's #Malaise sampling in my garden in #Canberra.

    Even though I have spent years photographing and identifying hundreds of moth species in the garden, these DNA barcodes added 23 species I had not previously recorded. Some seem common and are rarely or never recorded on citizen science platforms like #inaturalist

  29. I've updated the data mirror and browser interface I host for exploring Australian public #DNA #barcode records from #BOLD. I wanted an easier way to visualise and break down the relationships between the scientific names provided as identifications and the signals from the barcode BIN clusters.

    The images show specimens identified as Dysbatus stenodesma and the two BINS into which those specimens fall.
