Featured Software from the Kartzinel Lab: Geographic Coverage of DNA Barcodes. The inaugural code repository to be highlighted in our Featured Software section of the Software & Data page presents the Quarto Code Book published in association with our Molecular Ecology Review Paper, "Global Availability of Plant DNA Barcodes as Genomic Resources to Support Basic and Policy-Relevant Biodiversity Research" can be easily modified to evaluate the geographic coverage of other data sets. Although the featured code emphasizes geographic coverage from our work in Yellowstone National Park...

Over the past couple of years, a lot of things have changed. Some of those changes have brought improvements to the way we share the software and data that we generate in the lab, necessitated in part by the growing popularity of our work to a point that we recognized a substantial benefit to enhancing our commitment to easy access and open-source principles. 

To make it easier to find and access our most in-demand repositories -- often spread across a variety of platforms including GitHub, Zenodo, NCBI, BOLD, etc. -- we have created a main landing page on the website where we have curated a mix of both recent and timeless contributions to the field. Check it out!

You might also want to check out our lab's main GitHub repository, where we are increasingly making our projects publicly available so you can benefit from any updates we've made since posting a version of record for the code with a prior publication (e.g., a static record with a Zenodo DOI). 

I will periodically post updates to this blog in order to highlight and summarize important updates to help ensure the community is aware, but we will no longer be using these pages to share data or code directly as we have in the past.
