International Workshop on Barcoding of Deep-Sea Organisms

For the promotion of the molecular barcoding of deep-sea organisms the Census of Abyssal Marine Life "CeDAMar" is arranging an international workshop in cooperation with the Marine Barcode of Life Initiative "MarBoL". The event shall raise interest in barcoding as a highly effective method for the analysis of genetic material from deep-sea organisms.

The workshop is financially supported through generously granted benefits by the Alfred Sloan Foundation and will also enhance the cooperation between CeDAMar and the Barcode of Life projects.

Duration: May, 13th - 17th 2008

Excursion - Nature in Northern Germany

Departure

Information on participating / attending:
Lab space is limited to 30 participants at the utmost.
(Please see workshop registration instructions, below).

Expression of Interest:
Interested parties are requested to send a short note to Stefanie Keller (skeller@senckenberg.de) by 1st of January 2008 the latest. Please let us know your special interest in the workshop and add some information regarding your academic background.

In collaboration with the Smithsonian and Guelph labs the practical training offers facilities for generating bar code-data. In case you wish to use this option, please let us know the number of ethanol fixed specimen you would like to investigate by creating your own barcoding for specific taxa. Those who already work on CO I sequences are also requested to bring own data for the introductory exercises in Barcode of Life Database (BoLD).

Fee: 50 €
(including accommodation, breakfast and lunch for the whole duration)

Travel expenses may be covered if accepted participants cannot count on funding from other sources. In this case please attache an application by specifying expected costs.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
