The Collections Unit at the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario<\/a> (BIO) is extremely excited that we\u2019ll soon be helping out with this fall\u2019s edition of the School Malaise Trap Program (SMTP).\u00a0 We are anxiously awaiting the samples to arrive next week, when we finally get to do our part in the \u2018DNA barcoding\u2019 process.\u00a0 Our unit is basically responsible for all the steps leading up to the lab work \u2013 we collect specimens in the field, sort the trap samples and specimens, then database, photograph and tissue sample.\u00a0 That small piece of tissue (or the entire specimen for very small organisms) is then handed off to the laboratory where that unit is responsible for DNA extraction, amplification of the DNA barcode region, and finally DNA sequencing. For the SMTP, we\u2019re getting hundreds of young biologists helping with the field collection, and we can\u2019t wait to see what they trapped in their schoolyards.\u00a0 Who knows \u2013 maybe they\u2019ll collect species we\u2019ve never found before and they\u2019ll have to give us advice!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for an update from us next week when the samples have arrived and we\u2019re ‘forceps-deep’ in all the great trap samples collected through the SMTP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
