Hi everyone,
There are a lot of issues brought up by different people in the discussion, so thanks for that.
What will happen at BOLD is that they will create an informatics pipeline that checks sequences submitted as ITS sequences to be sure that…
Hi,
On points 4&5 are these inteneted to be minimum standards or strict limits? Would a longer sequence still meet the barcode critera?
Alignment of sequences would certainly be easier if these were strict limits, however enforcing these…
Dear all,
Related to the deleted 9th criterion "barcoding including introns". In my opinion, we should include that the intron/intross position must be annotate. In ascomycotina, they are many exemples where two ITS…
Hi everybody,
Thanks for starting this discussion and for posting the draft. Points 2-6 sound fine to me as they are. A few comments
Add 1. Who will be giving this title to the sequence? The sequence submitter? Genbank? Or is this definition meant…
Hi all,
thanks Conrad and Keith for your work. I especially like 5. - which makes life much easier and took long discussion in the past. To 7. I would prefer the bold and italic version, because it would prevent us from discussions which would be…
Hi all,We need to get some thoughts on details of how we want to deal with ITS barcodes. I post a first draft of conditions we want to consider for submission, started by Keith Seifert below. Please comment.Definition of an acceptable Fungal ITS barcode Database administrators will need a formal, somewhat mechanical definition of what constitutes an ITS barcode of acceptable quality. Note that by the strict definition of a barcode in the CBOL standard, barcode sequences must already be…See More
I’m involved in or interested in the following iBOL Working Groups
WG1.3 Fungi
I’m involved in the following aspects of barcoding:
Labwork/generating barcode sequences, Management of barcode data, Analysis of barcode data, Using barcode data in taxonomy/systematic biology, Organizing/managing barcoding projects
When you asked me to be part of a BARcoding effort, I thought there would be beer involved...
