[Taxacom] Nomina nuda and genbank?

[Sergio Vargas]

Hi there,

this question may have a trivial answer: names published in NCBI
Genbank are not valid, but... out of curiosity: what would happen if
publish a paper using a GenBank name without checking (not many people
check anyways) that the name actually exists? Would this name be a
Nomen Nudum then? and if so... does any one knows how are we going to
handle the Nomina Nuda in the future... GenBank is a major source of
funny names!!!!

cheers

sergio

>> *New iPhone App Assists Identification of Harmful Algal Species*
>> A volunteer from the NOAA Phytoplankton Monitoring Network?s Texas Master Naturalist group, in collaboration with National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) scientists, developed an iPhone application to assist marine phytoplankton and harmful algae identification. This ?app? includes images from an NCCOS gallery of common phytoplankton and recordings of a staff scientist?s pronunciation of each species? name. The application also contains a flash card game to improve volunteers? identification skills. The app, which works on both the iPod Touch and iPhone, drew over one hundred downloads within the first few days of release. Three quarters of downloads were in the U.S., and the Japanese were the most active international downloaders. A description of this application, with links to a video demo and iTunes download, is at http://www.gano.name/shawn/phyto/.
