Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (BIOUG) - Marine Invertebrates

The Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (BIOUG) will be releasing data on marine invertebrates to the public domain as the data is published in peer-reviewed journals. Every specimen in the resource is digitized, and the exact storage location of each specimen is tracked in a collection management information system for quick reference and retrieval. The databased information for every voucher is also archived in the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD), permitting the permanent storage, validation and analysis of barcode sequence data and associated specimen metadata. As of April 2017, this resource contains specimen information from the following resources: 1. Carr, C. M., Hardy, S. M., Brown, T. M., Macdonald, T. A., & Hebert, P. D. N. (2011). A tri-oceanic perspective: DNA barcoding reveals geographic structure and cryptic diversity in Canadian polychaetes. PLoS One, 6(7), e22232. 2. Layton, K. K., Martel, A. L., & Hebert, P. D. N. (2014). Patterns of DNA barcode variation in Canadian marine molluscs. PLoS One, 9(4), e95003.
