CBOL Data Analysis Working Group

Taken from the CBOL website, the mission of the Data Analysis Working Group is "to explore and develop ways of analyzing barcode data for the purpose of assigning individuals to species, discovering new species, and other appropriate purposes (see DAWG's Program of Work). Moreover, the Data Analysis Working Group will take the lead in developing tools for analyzing barcode data and in making these tools widely available. As the Barcode Database grows, this group will provide an increasingly useful resource for studying the dynamics of genetic variation within and among species. The Data Analysis Working Group invites researchers from population geneticists, statisticians, bioinformaticists, applied mathematicians and computational biologists to join." This Working Group is chaired by Neil Sarkar.

From now on, group messages will be the default mode of communication for the Data Analysis Working Group, so please join if you want to be kept informed on DAWG's latest activities.
