Amid spiralling government interest, world's top 350 DNA barcode scientists meet in Taipei
Date:9/14/2007

Barcode of Life Initiative (BoLI) is an international movement of researchers, research organizations, and users who are dedicated to developing DNA barcoding as a global standard for species identification. BOLI is:

  • Creating a global reference library of diagnostic barcode sequences for identifying species;

  • Engaging with government agencies, private companies, and other potential users of DNA barcode data to launch new barcoding projects;

  • Creating tools for a cost-effective, rapid system of species identification that can be used by non-specialists;

  • Adding 21st century diagnostic molecular data to the defining characteristics (morphology, ecology, behavior, geography) now used to identify biological species; and

  • Expanding the toolkit used by taxonomic researchers as they improve our understanding of global biodiversity.
