international online community for dna barcoding professionals

Introductions

Welcome to Connect, the DNA Barcoder community network!

We hope this network will be a place for communication and collaboration on a global scale, overcoming the rather dispersed nature of DNA barcoder researchers and enthusiasts.

As a first step, why not introduce yourself to the community via the comment box below? Including your name, institution, interest in DNA barcoding, and what you hope to get from this community would be a great way to start.

Hello ,

Am Parvathy Viswanath,SRF at IISR(Indian institute of Spices Research).As a fresher in this work i do have a lot of doubts regarding barcoding.The project am working on is DNA barcoding of major spices and detection of their adulterants.Am sure that this group would really help me 2 sort out my doubts.

Hi..

ya.. surely this group help u to sort out your problem on DNA barcoding when u really stuck into it..

My work almost related to yours like detection of authentic and adulterants medicinal plant species..

Regards

Hello everyone,

I've just been reading the discussions and introductions, and this looks like a wonderful, welcoming, community! I'm glad to be a member. My name is Lyndell, and I'm working on barcoding shellfish (and some seagrass) species. I'm starting the sequencing process tomorrow, actually. :) I'm using the COI gene to develop primers to work on elasmobranch (shark, skates, and rays) stomach content analysis. If you work on bivalves and have tips/suggestions/ideas to pass along, I'd greatly appreciate it!

All the Best,

Lyndell

Hello, everyone!

I'm Tina Balasanyan from Armenia.

I'm a student and also work at the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) university in Yerevan. I'm interested in this kind of projects very much, because i do my work in biodiversiy of some groupps of mammals of Armenia. Now i use Barcode of Life Database to finish my graduating work, that i started to do in Warsaw, Poland with cooperate my collegues in Muzeum and Instutie of Zoology. I think this site may be helpfull to me for using it, understandig some points in this work and get a new connections in science life of the world)..

Sorry for my not good english in advance.

WIth best regards.

Hi to all!

My name is Tamara, I've started few months ago barcoding fishes from Eilat Gulf (Israel), I'm working at the Interuniversity Insitute of Marine Sciences in Eilat. I'm facing some problems with PCRs in some species, and I would like to get in contact with collegues who can help me answering some questions regarding DNA Extraction protocols , DNA concentration of samples to perform PCR, primers and may be other question , regarding to FISHES.

Thanks to all !

Dear Tamara,

I am very happy to know that you are doing DNA Barcoding of fishes of Eilat Gulf. When I was studying at faculty at Rehovot, I been in Eilat to work with Coral fish barcoding with Benny Ron. We are having some collection too, Benny can help you. I will be very happy to provide you the information on your queries.

Be in touch.

Hi,

I am Pamoda, a M. Phil. student from Sri Lanka and am working on mosquitoes. May I know whether there are experts in Mosquito barcoding where I can gain bioinformatics related help since I am a novice to barcoding!

Thanks and regards

Pamoda
