Launch of iBOL newsletter, the Barcode Bulletin

We're pleased to announce publication of the first issue of the Barcode Bulletin – the newsletter of the International Barcode of Life project (iBOL). It’s a colourful 12 pages of news and views that will interest not just iBOL collaborators but anyone involved in DNA barcoding and/or biodiversity genomics.

Issue 1 has a report on the 3rd international Barcode of Life conference in Mexico City, a story about what happened when two New York teenagers decided to barcode their neighbourhood, a feature on the ongoing all-taxon barcode inventory of Churchill in the Canadian Arctic, reports on barcoding initiatives in Mexico, Bavaria, India and Norway, a barcode crossword and much, much more.
