Problems with traditional, morphology-based identification

Genetic-based identification (DNA barcodes) can help

overcoming these problems

Species are variable

There are 10 -100 million species in our planet

There are cryptic species

Sometimes we can only access fragments

The ideal genetic marker

Universal application Good recoverability Efficiency (smallest read necessary) Easy to align Easy to analyze The Mitochondrial Genome

Organization of the project: CBOL

CBOL was established in 2004. Goals:

- help organizing the project.

- connect the members of the barcoding community.

- establish barcoding as a standard proceduree for species identification.

Distribution of CBOL institutions

NMNH, Washington

Organization of the project: iBOL

iBOL was officially launched in 2009.

Main goal: to generate 5 million barcodes from 500,000 species by 2014.
