Has anyone worked with sequences from BOLD and found...anomalies? I've been working with a big batch and just discovered that 1/3 of them have inexplicable deletions in the text sequence, even though the chromatograms show it's unambiguously complete. Seems like a problem... #DNAbarcoding #DNA

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

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.

The last couple of hours of #Biodiversity #Genomics Europe's kick-off are for joint network activities, the area of BGE where #dnabarcoding (BIOSCAN Europe) and full #genome sequencing (ERGA) will converge and really break ground. https://biodiversitygenomics.eu/

Intense working sessions on Day 2 of the #Biodiversity #Genomics #Europe kick-off event at Naturalis ... break-out sessions at work package and stream level, to wrap up the day with a plenary to present and discuss outputs and conclusions from ERGA & BIOSCAN Europe #genome #dnabarcoding #genomes #datascience

Introduction (now with hashtags). I'm a long-term #naturalist and #biodiversity informatician/#datascientist based in Canberra. My focus is on #FAIR and open data, local biodiversity monitoring, #insect diversity, (automated) #light-trapping, species reference lists, #DNAbarcoding, with spillover to the subject of my other work responsibilities, crop data management.
