Have you ever wondered why businesses frequently postpone barcoding and scanning to Phase 2? It's an intriguing topic and certainly one that stirs my curiosity. Simple mistakes, like picking the wrong item from a shelf, can be substantially minimized with barcoding and validation during both the receiving and shipping processes. Barcoding and scanning, when done right, can revolutionize warehouse operations, bringing about efficiency, accuracy, and peace of mind.   Learn more in this new episode of

Cheri Walker and her colleagues started Rhinostics in the middle of the pandemic in response to the massive increase in testing volume required to keep faculty and students at Harvard safe from Covid. That's a story in itself. The principals never met in person for the first nine months! We had all of our calls virtually. It was all done telephonically, I mean in Zoom. I basically started the company out of my guest bedroom because we didn't need space for the first year. We now have a facility which you can see behind me and we have, you know, all the normal things that you would have as a company grows and expands.Make sure you listen to get the details on that.But those workflows I mentioned…Remember the nasopharyngeal swabs that ticked your brain? No one likes those and processing those samples in that format is cumbersome. Harvard developed a new type of polypropylene swab with an active end that interacts with a decapping robot. By developing and manufacturing this new type of nasal swab (no more brain tickling) Rhinostics was able to create:* A better patient experience with a more comfortable, DIY swab.* A smoother automated workflow with faster turnaround and* Potentially reduce turnover of medtechs in the labI think that's been the flip side of starting a company in the pandemic is just the supply chains and labor and all those issues. And then when you actually talk about the problem that we're solving and the real pain point that exists in laboratories today. Not only are there the cost structures and things like that, it's just finding med techs and people to work in the lab.And a lot of them got burned out. There was a small number before the pandemic, but a lot of them got burned out. And med tech now is making anywhere from 125, with 20, 000 signing bonuses. And, you know, retention turnover in the labs is something in the 25 to 30, 35%. So, it's a real issue, um, facing most of the laboratories right now.The automated workflow removes the manual step of decapping swabs before analysis. Barcoding ties the sample to the patient through an app on their phone and allows for better sample tracking. Both of those make for a better experience for the user and the med tech.You're subscribed, right? I have several interesting episodes in the can already. Don't miss ‘em.Thanks for being here.The insight here is that rethinking workflows and a small, unsexy device can have a huge impact on lab productivity, patient health and worker satisfaction. No medtech went to school thinking they would be uncapping tubes all day, rather than looking after equipment and solving problems. I asked Cheri where sample collection is going in the future. There is definitely a move toward home testing. The pandemic proved that it can be done accurately. There is currently an epidemic of STIs (sexually transmitted infections) for which the option of buying a kit off the shelf at the pharmacy would seem to be a way to discreetly get individuals to seek treatment if necessary while maintaining some privacy.Cheri also mentioned, for example, having a teenager on Accutane where blood lipids needed to be tested on a regular basis.You could send our little VERIstic® blood collection device, do a finger prick, send them home with ten of them, and then they can just do it and send it back. They don't have to drag their teenager back to the clinic to stay and wait for a blood draw and keep them out of school……it's interesting because everyone, it's not just home health and kit providers that are interested, like the whole hospital health system is trying to figure out how can we use these tools to actually have better health care for people that's more convenient, but still just as accurate and maybe get more compliance.More powerful analysis on the back end of testing is great, but across life science, I wonder if the real opportunities to make an impact are at the front end of how we do things.Your deepest insights are your best branding.

Hi everyone!This week's episode is not a traditional interview episode, but rather more of an update. But I still tried to pack some great nature content in it. Regular episodes return in two weeks,So what's on tap today? I have some fascinating updates and topics that I picked up from two nature conferences I attended over the last two weeks.  This includes:- Complexities of nitrogen deposition and their impacts on land and water- Wildfire ecology including using burn scars to measure fire history- DNA Barcoding revealing raptor prey- Summaries of the CNPS and California Naturalist conferences- Preview of upcoming podcast guestsAs I said, we'll be back to normal interview episodes in two weeks, with Allen Fish of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory talking raptor migrations and raptor biology, counting, and banding. And I have some other wonderful guests with interviews in various stages of production, covering spiders, slime molds, and hydrology and water management.I also have a question for you all. What would you think if I changed to a "seasonal" release schedule? I explain my thought process in the episode, but the short story is I think I can increase my annual episodes released from 26 to 30 while providing more flexibility for scheduling challenges and I inevitably run into. As always, please send feedback to naturesarchivepodcast [at] gmail.com, and consider checking out @naturesarchive on the various social media platforms.

A strict new food traceability rule is set to become official on November 7, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), that will make it easier to trace foods that are often linked to foodborne illnesses. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about which foods are considered high risk, the details of the new rule and the barcoding technology required to follow it. To make foods safer, the rule requires a detailed account of food origins and movements throughout production, processing and shipping, even as these foods are transformed into other food products or as other foods are added to them. The team wonder whether food producers still use old-fashioned paper-and-pencil methods of record keeping and whether this rule will be effective in preventing foodborne illness outbreaks. Also, in this episode, Sydney talks about some potential initial public offerings (IPOs) from food and beverage companies. While there have been far fewer IPOs this year compared to last year, several private food and beverage companies have been prepping to go public, and some may still do so in the second half of this year. She discusses three potential food IPOs, including Impossible Foods, Instacart and Chobani, as well as how some of last year's food IPOs have been performing. All three companies have delayed their IPOs due to market volatility, inflation and/or rising interest rates, but hope to become public by the end of the year or the beginning of next year. The team wonder whether Instacart has passed its pandemic peak and discuss the risks of going public versus remaining private. Read the full articles here:Here's How the FDA is Making it Easier to Trace FoodsPotential Food IPOs to Look Out For in 2022For more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

Today's guest is Dr. Brian Brown, Curator of Entomology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. A native of Toronto, Canada, Dr. Brown did his undergraduate and masters work at the University of Guelph. During the latter, under the tutelage of well known entomologist Steve Marshall, Dr. Brown took up the study of the fly family Phoridae. This is a phenomenally diverse family of extremely interesting flies that, of course, we discuss at length today.In 1990, Dr. Brown obtained his doctorate at the University of Alberta in Canada, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution and University of Maryland. In 1993 he took up his current position in Los Angeles.Today we discuss Dr. Brown's work at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County - in particular, the scale and diversity of the collections, and the implications of that on the work that he does. We pretty quickly delve into the aforementioned phorid flies. There are potentially as many as one million species of these flies, but to give you an idea of the diversity and scale of the work, only 4,500 have been described to date. Yes, you heard that right! Dr. Brown discusses the challenges of having so few people studying such an immense diversity of species, and approaches involved such as DNA barcoding.Even among the 4500 described species, there are many amazing natural history stories that we get into, ranging from the aptly named “Coffin Fly” to ant-decapitating phorids.We weave in and out of many fascinating subjects, from research in the Amazon canopy, to surprising discoveries in Los Angeles, to invasive ant species.You can find Dr. Brown through the museum's website at nhm.org, on his blog at flyobsession.net, or his Phorid fly site at phorid.net.This discussion was full of surprises and a lot of fun, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we speak with Peter Smibert, Vice President of Biology at 10X Genomics to talk about an exciting new method in Multimodal Characterization of Cellular Identity using Barcoding. During his time at the New York Genome Center, Peter Smibert was instrumental in the development of a new method called "Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing" short CITE-Seq. This method enables the characterization of a cell's transcriptome, while at the same time, also allows the characterization of the cell's protein surface markers - at the single cell level. In CITE-Seq, sequencing adapters are coupled to antibodies that recognize surface proteins, which can then be detected by sequencing. Further advancements of the CITE-Seq method led to the launch of BioLegend's TOTAL-Seq and the integration of scATAC-Seq into the workflow. With the integration of scATAC-Seq in the CITE-Seq protocol, it is now possible to characterize single-cells along the path of the central dogma of biology, this is why the method called DOGMA-Seq.   References https://cite-seq.com Baron, M., Yanai, I.

Roughly 1.3 million species have been identified and recorded, but that's just a fraction of life on our planet. A recent advancement known as DNA barcoding samples small but key parts of genomes to ID species. Also, the U.S. is extremely divided in many ways, from politics to race to wealth. But for a model of unity, we might look to the African concept of Ubuntu as a way to heal the many broken relationships in America. And insects far outnumber us on this planet, and they've shaped the course of human history. Stories about the ancient relationship between human society and insects, and the critical need to preserve insect biodiversity for future generations.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.12.247643v1?rss=1 Authors: Shashkova, S., Nyström, T., Leake, M. C., Wollman, A. J. Abstract: Most cells adapt to their environment by switching combinations of genes on and off through a complex interplay of transcription factor proteins (TFs). The mechanisms by which TFs respond to signals, move into the nucleus and find specific binding sites in target genes is still largely unknown. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopes, which can image single TFs in live cells, have begun to elucidate the problem. Here, we show that different environmental signals, in this case carbon sources, yield a unique single-molecule fluorescence pattern of foci of a key metabolic regulating transcription factor, Mig1, in the nucleus of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This pattern serves as a 'barcode' of the gene regulatory state of the cells which can be correlated with cell growth characteristics and other biological function.

Do you give money to the homeless people you meet on the street? I do, sometimes. But, mostly I don't and that's because I think it will be spent on some sort of vice and not on say… food or shelter. This is why I prefer to donate to a charity. If I give it to a charity, I can make a reasonable assumption that the money I donate will go to the intended purpose of getting someone the help they need. But what if there was a way to give funds directly to homeless people you encounter on the street with the guarantee that it would be spent responsibly? Well, I've found a very intriguing technical option that promises to do that very thing.

Die als Zehnfußkrebse oder auch als Decapoda bezeichneten Arthropoden sind eine weltweit verbreitete, zum Teil hoch spezialisierte und vielseitig angepasste Gruppe, die in fast allen aquatischen Ökosystemen, aber auch in terrestrischen Habitaten zu finden ist. Die enorme Artenzahl von 17,635 rezent und fossil bekannten Arten (De Grave et al., 2009) sowie das hohe Alter der Gruppe an sich erschwert die systematische Eingliederung einzelner Arten. Fossile Funde von Dekapoden wurden bis ins Devon (vor 415 bis 359,2 Millionen Jahren) datiert (Schram et al., 1978). Damit haben die rezenten Vertreter viele Millionen Jahre Evolution durchlaufen und die Ergebnisse dieses langwierigen Prozesses schlagen sich in einer hohen morphologischen Vielfalt zwischen den Arten nieder. Um eine zuverlässige Phylogenie aufstellen und Arten eindeutig charakterisieren zu können sind neue Merkmale, Methoden und Ansätze erforderlich. Eine zuverlässige Bestimmung und Einordnung der verschiedenen Arten bildet die Basis für verschiedene Datenbanken und Projekte wie z.B. GenBank, Barcoding of Life (BOLD), German Barcode of Life (GBOL) oder Barcoding Fauna Bavarica und zeigt, welch hohen Stellenwert die Taxonomie besitzt. Ziel dieser kumulativen Dissertation ist es mit Einsatz von verschiedenen modernen morphologischen und molekularen Methoden wie der Rasterelektronenmikroskopie, der Fluoreszenzmikroskopie und der Analyse von mitochondrialen DNA-Sequenzen (Cytochrom-c-Oxydase) neue Merkmalssätze zur besseren Charakterisierung der verschiedenen Arten und deren Artabgrenzungen zu erarbeiten. Aber auch klassische Methoden wie das Abwägen von morphologischen Merkmalen, kommen in einem integrativen Ansatz zur Artabgrenzung zur Anwendung. Die in den Arbeiten angewandte Rasterelektronenmikroskopie erlaubt eine weitaus höhere Vergrößerung als die klassische Lichtmikroskopie bei gleichzeitig höherer Auflösung und Schärfentiefe. Somit konnten auch kleinste eidonomische (Bestimmungs-) Merkmale wie das Dorsalorgan oder einzelne Setae-Typen bei Zoea-Larven detailliert beschrieben und als neue oder früher wenig beachtete morphologischen Merkmale zur systematischen Einordnung herangezogen werden (Publikationen I, II und III). Des Weiteren konnte mit Hilfe der Fluoreszenzmikroskopie anhand von DAPI-Färbungen gezeigt werden, dass die Anordnung der Zellkerne von Zoea-Larven aus den verschiedenen Unterordnungen Caridea, Anomura und Brachyura charakteristische Muster aufweist. Dieses Kriterium wird als möglicher Merkmalssatz in der Taxonomie diskutiert (Publikation VI). Ein weiteres Feld der modernen Taxonomie wird durch Publikation V abgedeckt: molekulare Analysen auf der Basis des mitochondrialen proteincodierenden Genes COI (cytochrome oxidase subunit 1) bzw „barcoding“-Gens. Zum ersten Mal für die südchilenische Fjordregion wurde mit dem Ansatz der integrativen Taxonomie die dortige Dekapoda-Fauna erfasst und analysiert. Nahe verwandte Arten der Gattungen Eurypodius Guérin, 1825 und Acanthocyclus Lucas, in H. Milne Edwards & Lucas, 1844, die morphologisch schwer zu trennen sind, konnten neu charakterisiert werden. In der Arbeit wurden klassische, morphologische Merkmale mit molekularen, morphologieunabhängigen Merkmalen kombiniert. Durch eine vorherige Inventarisierung der südchilenischen Dekapodenfauna während zahlreicher Expeditionen in die Region konnte zudem die Basis für die taxonomische Arbeit (ca. 650 Samples sind in der Zoologischen Staatssammlung München hinterlegt) geschaffen werden. Eine ausführlichen Dokumentation mit verschiedenen bildgebenden Methoden wie der Verwendung von tiefenscharfen Aufnahmen und in situ Fotos der verschiedenen Arten dieser noch nahezu unerforschten Region bildet das Rückgrat der taxonomischen Arbeiten und ist als Kapitel in dem zweisprachigen (Spanisch und Englisch) Standardwerk für die Region publiziert (PublikationVI).

Professor Alice Roberts talks bacteriophages: viruses that infect the bacteria that infect us. With the rise of antibiotic resistance they are a potential weapon against infection.We hear from Paul Hebert, the biologist behind the International Barcode of Life project – a global effort to classify the entire world's species according to their DNA. Bristol researchers have discovered that it is more than scent and colour that draws a bee to a flower – there is also an electric field.Claire Turner from the Open University shows us the instrument she uses to detect disease. It can sense when a heart transplant patient is rejecting their new organ, purely through monitoring their breath.

Plant beneficial microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF), increasingly attract scientific and agronomic attention due to their capacity to increase nutrient accessibility for plants and to reduce inorganic fertilizer requirements. AMF are thought to form symbioses with most land plants, obtaining carbon from the autotrophic host whilst enhancing uptake of poorly available nutrients. The species of AMF are mainly identified by spore morphology, which is time consuming, requires expertise and is rarely applicable to AMF identification in roots. Molecular tools such as analysis of standardized DNA fragment sequences may allow the recognition of species through a ‘DNA barcode’, which may partly overcome this problem. The focus of this study was to evaluate different regions of widely used rDNA repeats for their use as DNA barcodes for AMF including the small subunit rRNA gene (SSU), the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the large subunit rRNA gene (LSU). Closely related species in the genus Ambispora, members of which have dimorphic spores, could not be separated by analysis of the SSU region, but of the ITS region. Consequently, the SSU was not used for subsequent analysis, but a DNA fragment covering a small part of the SSU, the entire ITS region and about 800 bp of the LSU (SSUmCf-LSUmBr fragment) was analysed, providing phylogenetic resolution to species. New AMF specific primers for these potential barcoding regions were developed and can be applied, without amplification of non-target organisms, for AMF species determination, including identification from field and root samples. Analyses based on the application of the SSUmCf-LSUmBr fragment showed that the widely used AMF model organism Glomus sp. DAOM197198 (formerly called Glomus intraradices) is not conspecific with Gl. intraradices. The SSUmCf-LSUmBr fragment clearly provides a much higher species resolution capacity when compared with the formerly preferred ITS and LSU regions. Further study of several groups of AMF species using different regions of the SSUmCf-LSUmBr fragment revealed that only the complete SSUmCf-LSUmBr fragment allowed separation of all analysed species. Based on these results, an extended DNA barcode covering the ITS region and parts of the LSU region is suggested as a DNA barcode for AMF. The complete SSUmCf-LSUmBr fragment sequences can serve as a database backbone for also using smaller rDNA fragments as barcodes. Although the smallest fragment (approximately 400 bp) analysed in this study was not able to discriminate among AMF species completely, such short regions covering the ITS2 or LSU D2 regions, respectively, would most likely be suitable for community analyses with 454 GS-FLX Titanium sequencing, providing that the analyses is based on the longer DNA sequences.
