Overview • The politics of DNA barcoding. • What happened to cox1? • Should ITS be the official Fungal Barcode? • Data standards for the barcode keyword. • Data resources for DNA barcoding. • International barcoding projects Our goal: Motivate mycological participation in DNA barcoding! • Formalize the fungal barcode. • Establish Fungal Working Group • Develop new fungal barcoding projects. • Participate in multi-kingdom projects. “DNA, you know, is Midas’ gold. Everybody who touches it goes mad.” Maurice Wilkins, quoted in The Eighth Day of Creation

Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) • Regulates the ‘barcode’ keyword for GenBank • Organization • Secretariat • Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., USA • 5 people • Executive Committee • 7 members, including Pedro Crous • Implementation Board • 19 members, including Conrad Schoch • Members • 200 Member Organizations, 50 countries • Natural history museums, biodiversity organizations • Users: e.g., government agencies • Private sector biotech companies, database providers • Facilitates barcoding but does not fund research www.barcodeoflife.org
The Barcode Keyword in GenBankThe Barcode Data Standard • Sequence records with… • Voucher specimens • On-line metadata • Reliable standard of taxonomic identification • Agreed gene region • sanctioned by peer review by CBOL Implementation Board • Sequence traces • Identification of unknowns of ALL kingdoms (except bacteria) • GenBank • Barcode of Life Database (BOLD)
Barcode What is DNA Barcoding? Part 2. • All Kingdoms, All Species, One gene (or two or three genes?) • The purpose is identification … NOT phylogeny • In animals, the barcode gene is cytochrome oxidase 1 (cox1 or CO1) • A single copy mitochondrial gene, AT rich • 648 bp region is the core for animals • In plants, the barcode genes are matKand rbcL • Hollingsworth et al., 2009, PNAS 106: 12794–12797, 2009. • In fungi, the barcode gene has not been formalized • By default it is cox1 until an alternative is accepted
What is DNA Barcoding? Part 3. • Big science • More than $100,000,000 • Biodiversity Institute of Ontario (Guelph) • Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis (Leiden) – € 30 million • High throughput sequencing • Near genome centre volumes • Immediate data release policy (based on public genome model) is controversial • Primer mixes often used for PCR • M13 tagged sequencing primers • Data release papers
What is DNA Barcoding? Part 4. • Taxon specific ‘campaigns’ • Development of multikingdom databases • For use by all scientists and the public… not just mycologists • Multi-kingdom projects • QBOL – Quarantine Barcode of Life • Ecological projects • IM-Bol Indoor Mycota Barcode of Life • Geographic Projects • Moorea www.lepbarcoding.org www.barcodingbirds.org www.fishbol.org mooreabiocode.org
Barcode of Life Database – BOLDwww.boldsystems.orgMirrored in China, negotiations with ECBol, Australia, Mexico • Accepts ITS sequences as barcodes • Submission open to anyone • Few fungal sequences • Spreadsheets for metadata • No specific fungal format • Process can be tedious • Images of specimens • Descriptions • ‘Automated’ GenBank submission
Barcode Submission Tool www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/WebSub/index.cgi?tool=barcode • Familiar submission process • Trace archive available • www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/home/ • ITS sequences not yet accepted as barcodes • Submission open to anyone • Few fungal barcode sequences are now cox1 • Metadata must be stored off-site
RefSeq Targeted Loci www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/RefSeq/ • Bacteria: all type sequences • Fungi: 200 sequences from AFToL, 28S, 18S, just beginning INSD (International Nucleotide Sequence Databases) DDBJ EMBL GenBank model organisms reference organisms genomic level selection & some curation (NCBI) submission RefSeq 16S rRNA* other molecular markers other RNAs

Criticisms of DNA Barcoding • Not science (or bad science) • A threat to classical taxonomy • Removes funding from classical taxonomy • Standardization of markers impossible • Oversimplifies delimiting species • It is not phylogeny • Distrust and questioning of CBOL’s mandate • National pride • Disciplinary pride
iBOL Member Nations Each central node should have a high-throughput DNA barcoding facility Now Canada US France Poland Scientific Steering Committee (mycologists): Pedro Crous, Keith Seifert
ECBOL- European Consortium for the Barcode of Life Mission: To unleash the potential of European expertise and collections to contribute towards identifying life on earth. • Plan: • Establish a Network of European Leading Laboratories (NELL) • Formalise National DNA barcoding campaigns in each European country • Establish new projects and barcoding campaigns, • Functioning as the European node for international initiatives such as iBOL Participating countries: Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, U.K. www.ecbol.org ECBOL2 meeting June 2010, Braga, Portugal Lorenzo Lombard l.lombard@cbs.knaw.nl
Selecting barcode genes • International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration • INSDC, GenBank, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and the DNA Data Bank of Japan • CBOL Implementation Board decides by peer review which gene regions receive BARCODE status • Possible reasons for rejection of cox1 • PCR problems (amplification or primer problems) • Patterns of inter- and infraspecific variation • Resolving power • Selection of new genes • Patterns of inter- and infraspecific variation • Prefer a ‘barcode’ gap • Universality of primer pair etc.

The ITS reality… Hurray! • Large reference database • most not barcode data standard compliant • Robust primers • Strong demand from many mycologists that this be the fungal barcode • Especially ecologists studying environmental metagenomics
The ITS Reality – BOO! • Multiple copies within species • At this conference… • Dan Lindner – Laetiporus, this conference • Uwe Simon & M. Weiss – Ascomycetes • Of concern for cloning based and metagenomic studies wanting to use barcode ID databases • Serious lack of resolution in Ascomycetes • Possibly too short • 500-700 bp optimum barcode but subtract 150 bp 5.8S… • Chimera problems for some methodological approaches
The Ascomycete Barcode Problem Dikarya • ITS (and cox1) lack resolution in many groups • A second barcode is needed • TEF1-α • RPB1 or RPB2 • Mcm7 Schmitt et al. 2009.

Spatafora TEF
Action • Establish Fungal DNA Barcoding Working Group • Chair: Conrad Schoch • International Membership • 10-15 members • Establish Ascomycete subgroup (or other subgroups?) • Establish Working Plan • Prepare Fungal Barcoding proposal • For peer reviewed publication • For CBOL implementation board approval • CBOL will support meetings of WG as necessary
Possible approaches • Volunteers needed for Fungal Working Group • Collaborators to provide data • Mine data from existing publications • Collaborators to provide DNA • Multiple strains per species • Multiple species per genus • Authorship open to all who contribute • AFTOL model • Sequencing of other markers • part of main proposal • or as separate activity • CBOL agreement with Life Tech • CONTACT: • Conrad Schoch: schoch2@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Fungal DNA Barcoding – Proposed Proposal • General Barcode for Fungi • rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) • Secondary barcodes • Yeasts • rDNA large subunit (28S, LSU) D2 region • Ascomycetes • Second barcode required, subsequent proposal • Oomycetes • A separate proposal • Data on ITS, cox1 and LSU now being prepared for publication • 2 barcode system • rDNA internal transcribed space (ITS) • rDNA large subunit (28S, LSU) D2 region • Other groups?
