AquaBOL.SK
Barcoding aquatic biota of slovakia
AquaBOL.SK is a scientific biodiversity initiative of experts on aquatic ecosystems focused on DNA barcoding of aquatic organisms living in Slovakia. The main mission and long-term goal of the initiative is to record and identify genetic diversity and to create an exhaustive library of standardized DNA sequences (DNA barcodes) of all aquatic species from all types of aquatic habitats in Slovakia and access the data in the Barcoding of Life Data System (BOLD) database.
ZooLab (AquaBOL.SK) at Starmus
The AquaBOL.SK team was part of the international event STARMUS Festival (12-17.5.2024). You could see us at the stand on the Main Square in...
Third year with MinION
For the third year we have been successfully using the next generation Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer to sequence DNA from our samples. This...
AquaBOL.SK
associates scientific institutions, professionals, taxonomic specialists and enthusiasts contributing to the building a reference library of DNA barcodes for aquatic fauna and flora species occurring in Slovakia – a biodiversity “hot-spot” in the heart of Europe. The purpose of this initiative is to promote the use of modern molecular methods in assessing biodiversity and the ecological state of our waters.
AquaBOL.SK
is trying to fulfill a global mission of the International Barcode of Life (iBOL) project and support the main ideas of COST Action DNAqua-Net. The data acquired is published in a publicly available database Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD).
