Our efforts on environmental genomics begin to bear fruit. A “Barcode of Life” project seems likely to proceed based on the just-completed “Banbury II” conference on DNA & taxonomy at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

http://phe.rockefeller.edu/BarcodeConference/. On this site you can Read Mark Stoeckle’s September 2003 Bioscience essay on “Taxonomy, DNA, and the Bar Code of Life” and the “Barcode of Life scientific rationale and strategy” by Mark & Jesse prepared for Banbury. Mark also co-authored the DNA Barcoding Protocol for the Census of Marine Life. For the essential science of barcoding, visit Paul Hebert’s site: http://www.barcodinglife.com
