SPIDER makes the top 10 barcoding publications of 2012


In the recent Barcode Bulletin published by iBoL, our humble paper announcing the R package spider: Species identity and evolution made second on their list of the top 10 publications of 2012. Not bad for a side project!

Spider is available for download from CRAN, and R-Forge. Be sure to check out the spider website as well for a tutorial on the use of the package.
