The following is a first for iPhylo, a guest post by Bob Mesibov. Rod Page introduced 'dark taxa' here on iPhylo in April 2011. He wrote: Rod suggested that 'quite a lot' of biology can be done without taxonomic names. For the dark taxa in GenBank, that might well mean doing biology without organisms – a surprising thought if you're a whole-organism biologist.
