Here we describe our project "Real-time DNA barcoding in a remote rainforest using nanopore sequencing". You can read more details in our bioRxiv preprint here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early...

This project, funded in part by National Geographic, was extremely challenging and fun, and I owe a huge thanks to our collaborators and friends in Ecuador who helped make this possible. Namely Lucas M. Bustamante, Alejandro Arteaga, Frank Pichardo H (and the other fabulous members of Tropical Herping), Nicolás Peñafiel, David Salazar Valenzuela, with support from Universidad Indoamérica, Cesar Barrio Amorós, and Luis Coloma. Special thanks to Stefan Prost, whose bioinformatics expertise were invaluable!
