Barcoding Projects
There are many international barcoding activities dedicated to the development of targeted public reference BARCODE sequence libraries.
Featured Projects
All Fungi Barcoding
All Fungi Barcoding provides up-to-date information on fungal barcoding and facilitates communication and collaboration among researchers interested in fungi.
Coral Reef Barcode of Life
The Coral Reef Barcode of Life campaign is a detailed barcode study of fishes at one site in the Great Barrier Reef to generate a barcode library that will aid taxonomic work by clarifying species boundaries and by revealing cryptic taxa.
European Consortium for the Barcode of Life (ECBOL)
ECBOL is an information and coordination hub on DNA barcoding in Europe organized within EDIT, the European Institute of Taxonomy and maintained by CBS, the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures in Utrecth. The ECBOL initiative (Calibrating European Biodiversity using DNA Barcodes) is a network of European researchers and is seeking to obtain funding fro the coordination and maintenance of a Network of European Leading Labs.
Fish Barcode of Life Campaign (FISH-BOL)
FISH-BOL, the Fish Barcode of Life campaign, is collecting barcodes from at least five specimens representing the 30,000+ species of marine, freshwater and estuarine fish of the world. Like ABBI, FISH-BOL has a central Steering Committee and Regional Working Groups.
HealthBOL
HealthBOL coordinates initiatives to barcode vectors, pathogens, and parasites for the betterment of human health around the world.
