Urgently wanted specimen
QBOL has put a lot of effort into obtaining the relevant species for the project. Some species were easier to obtain than others and more specimens of the species are still needed to investigate the intraspecies variation. Therefore a list of Urgently Wanted Specimen has been compiled and has been distributed to relevant people.
List of Urgently Wanted Specimen
QBOL will generate barcode sequences for quarantine species and closely related species (look alikes). To realise this QBOL has established prioritized lists of the quarantine organisms relevant for the EU to be barcoded. These taxon sampling lists – Q-lists – are now available as PDF-documents.
The actual lists need filling up. More isolates are needed to boost the number of strains and species in the databases. Do you have material that is not yet mentioned in these Q-lists? Please contact one the QBOL taxon coordinators.
