Barcoding: The Perspective of a Medium-sized Facility in a Developing Country

2011-09-09T14:52:48.603Z

This webinar will deal with the perspective of a medium-sized barcoding facility in a developing country. The presentation will briefly cover the steps of the pipeline as are implemented in the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia” (the National Museum of Natural Science of Argentina), including collection, processing of specimens and samples, the molecular laboratory steps (extraction and amplification) and data analysis. Additionally, the strategy of a small- to medium-sized facility will be discussed, focusing on the experience of the group at this museum that has been involved in barcoding since 2005.

Front Loading: Specimen Handling, Data Capture, & Tissue Sampling

2011-04-06T14:46:47.132Z

This webinar summarizes six years of experience in building collection management workflows at the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding (Guelph, Ontario). It covers the essentials of front-end processing — what happens to a specimen after it is collected and before it is submitted to the molecular analytical pipeline of a high throughput DNA barcoding facility. The presentation will focus on simple ways of making collections ‘barcode-friendly’ and ‘high throughput- compatible’: how to set up collection processing, what to watch out for, and what to avoid. What is a specimen array? What is a sampling kit? What forms of preservation are best for DNA recovery? How to avoid sample cross-contamination? How to convert data records for submission to BOLD? The webinar will include a demonstration of basic sampling techniques and simple solutions for data entry and conversion of potential use in small field-based collecting operations.

Previewing a software solution for barcode pipelines: the Geneious Biocode Plugin (Webinar 24 June 2010)

2011-02-18T17:31:46.224Z

A walk-through of features developed by the Biocode Moorea Project, an All Taxon Biodiversity Barcoding Inventory.

The webinar will introduce and demonstrate LabBench and LabAssembler, components for:

- Linking specimen and collecting event metadata with tissues, extractions and laboratory workflows via spreadsheets or Tapir provider

- Tracking workflows including extractions, PCRs and sequence reactions

- Managing the generation of trace files and sequence data

- Assembling sequences and conducting QA/QC tailored to barcoding requirements, and

- Managing GenBank submissions
