Dear All,
Following on from my post on species identification by DNA barcoding,
I am attaching links to the Barcode of Life project and of more
interest to birders, the All Birds Barcoding Initiative.
http://www.barcodeoflife.org/barcode/batsbirds/
http://www.barcodingbirds.org/
These sites will also provide further links for those who would like
to pursue this interesting subject in more detail.
Many might think the idea of a handheld DNA barcode reader is a bit
pie in the sky. If you had told Astronomers 10-20 years ago that there
would be a handheld device, which when pointed at a star or other
celestial object, would identify the star and provide a run down on
it. they would have said you were mad. There are now two such devices
available and they are priced about the same as a pair of mid-range
binoculars. So who knows what the next few years will show.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
