We’ve just launched the website for the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (Smithsonian) initiative!
Promoting the international growth of DNA Barcoding (the practice of using a short genetic sequence to identify species), the website will serve as a central online resource for researchers, scholars, and others interested in keeping abreast of the groundbreaking work of four core organizations: the International Barcode of Life (iBOL); Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL); Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD), and GenBank. The website provides both general information on DNA Barcoding, as well as industry news, peer-reviewed publications, and the latest updates from the greater barcoding community.
In tandem with the launch of this site is the continued growth of its companion social network connect.BarcodeofLife.net. Since the network’s launch in November 2009, the Ning network has been thriving, and will continue to grow in membership and resources as the newly launched CBOL website brings to light the latest developments in the field.
