New DNA barcodes for wildlife helminths now available (HelmBank Release R1)The first public release of data from the HelmBank project is now live with Release R1. This release provides a new set of voucher-linked parasite DNA barcode records designed to improve how helminths are detected and identified from wildlife. This release adds 45 barcodes from 20 newly sequenced specimens with data for the markers COI, 16S, and ITS. Release R1 is part of a larger, growing, and actively curated collection of parasite specimens from wildlife. It currently focuses on the helminth parasites of Neotropical mammals, but coverage is quickly expanding to include a broader array of host taxa. Quick links
