hello Matthew!
i have some samples of triatomine´s bugs. Are some legs, some of them have at lest 10 years and are saved in ethanol and some others in nothing. Then i have another samples that are DNA isolated and that i use to get ND4 and ITS2 Products. Do you think that this sample could work for barcode sequence or i have to do something special with the sample to make it work?

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your response about sorting discussions. Actually, it was within a particular discussion that I was hoping it would be possible to sort postings, by most recent posting activity. Is that possible?

Thanks, -Peter
