In the 6th episode of Genomic Connections, we talk with Rutger Vos & @diegomics.bsky.social about their experiences in bioinformatics and the differences between DNA barcoding and reference genomes.

This episode comes in a different format than usual – it's a video!

Today we join the global mourning the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall, the "tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world" who inspired generations protecting biodiversity.

Thank you, Jane Goodall, for all your work and reminding us that we can choose the impact we make.

Newly established Bulgarian Barcode of Life to support biodiversity conservation in the country As the latest national node to join the International Barcode of Life Consortium (iBOL), its main task is to coordinate, support, and promote DNA barcoding research in Bulgaria.

BgBOL, part of @iboleurope.bsky.social, was established two years ago to contribute to the broader dissemination and popularisation of #DNAbarcoding research in the region.
