  1. CBOL Executive Comm met, planned 2010-12 work program, thinking about place for 4th barcode conference. Suggestions? #barcode09
  2. CONACYT has committed US$3.8 million for the Mexican Barcode of Life network (MexBOL) over 5 years - 3 nodes with lab capacity #barcode09
  3. Anybody have pictures to post from the taco lunch in the bullring? #barcode09
  4. Tom Bruns - proposal for naming envir sequences and 3rd party GenBank annotations at http://bit.ly/3X96ro #barcode09
  5. Most BLAST searches for fungi find mixtures, not named cultures or specimens - should we name the mixtures in a consistent way? #barcode09
  6. Tom Bruns on fungal mixtures in soils, guts, plant tissue are "environmental sequences" - no specimens, just subtrates with stuff #barcode09
  7. Next gen sequencing session at #barcode09 - lots of presented ecological projects are untangling mixtures with 454 - foodwebs from barcodes
  8. Nobody parties like the barcoders - lost a bus for two hours but tequila was waiting for them at dinner - salsa dancing til 12 #barcode09
  9. Lots easier to find fossil DNA than whole fossils in Ice Age sediments; "Ice Core Genetics" now enables community reconstruction #barcode09
  10. Eske Willerslev - Sediments in Siberian permafrost have enough DNA to permit identification, community reconstruction #barcode09
  11. Alex Smith - barcoding forest insect-plant food webs increased taxon list by 25%, reveal new host relationships #barcode09
  12. Labor strike in Mexico City, threat to disrupt traffic so Barcode buses rolled by 7am - big internet cafe before morning session #barcode09
  13. @pjd Yvonne Linton plans to publish a 'barcode data release' paper, prob'y PLoS ONE in the coming months - not out yet #barcode09
  14. Barcodes recovered from mosquitoes as old as 93 years - museum collections could cover 68% of all species #barcode09
  15. Yvonne showed picture of crown Prince William pipetting and barcoding in NHM London - "barcode recruits needed" #barcode09
  16. 35% of Anopheles species barcoded, 95% of the species that carry malaria #barcode09
  17. Yvonne Linton - Mosquito Barcoding Initiative - 1900 specimens from 174 species barcoded, some recovered from old museum specimens #barcod09
  18. @kejames Yeah - we're next door in pathogens session - can you hold down the noise over there in plants? #barcode09
  19. Panel discussion - student involvement doesn't raise project efficiency but increases recruitment, adds big education impact #barcode09
  20. Wilkinson - pyrosequencing to analyze species of pollen collected by individual bees - high gender difference in pollen selection #barcode09
