The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) is an online workbench that aids collection, management, analysis, and use of DNA barcodes. It consists of 3 components (MAS, IDS, and ECS) that each address the needs of various groups in the barcoding community. It provides a repository for barcode records, storing specimen data and images as well as sequences and trace files. It provides an efficient interface for submitting barcode records to GenBank. It provides an identification engine based on the current barcode library. It monitors the number of barcode sequence records and species coverage. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

We are happy to announce that 2013 is the 10 year anniversary of DNA barcoding and we plan to celebrate this milestone in Kunming, China. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ and Kunming Institute of Botany are pleased to be hosting this year’s conference. The conference will consist of four days of plenary and parallel sessions. Preconference events, such as discussion meetings focusing on advances in sequencing and informatics techniques will be held on the Sunday before the conference. There is also a Training Course associated with the conference (max 30 delegates). Past conferences have brought together participants from over 60 countries, including researchers, students, government officials, and representatives of NGOs and private companies. This year’s conference hosts, the Chinese Academy of Science and Kunming Institute of Botany, have provided a venue that hosts up to 500 participants. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Scientific Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that the 6th International Barcode of Life Conference will be held from August 18 – 21, 2015 at the University of Guelph, one of Canada’s major life science universities. Guelph couples easy access to a major airport with the simple logistics of a small Canadian city, ensuring that conference participants will be able to focus on science. Since 2003, DNA barcoding has become the largest research program in biodiversity science, one examining all eukaryote kingdoms and spanning many nations. Reflecting the scope of the program, numerous major international collaborative projects are underway. The 6th Conference will sustain traditions established by the five earlier conferences; it will showcase the latest scientific achievements and socio-economic implications of work conducted by the DNA barcode research community. The theme of the 6th Conference, Barcodes to Biomes, signals the ongoing expansion of our community’s research agenda from studies on particular sets of species in particular places to work which is creating the capability to examine entire biotic assembles at local and global scales. ...

The African Centre for DNA Barcoding (ACDB), The International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL), The Department of Environmental affairs (DEA) and the University of Johannesburg (UJ) is proud to announce and welcome delegates to our hosting of the 7th International Barcode of Life (iBOL) Conference, 20 – 24 November 2017. This is the first time that this event will be held on the African continent. The venue for the hosting of this prestigious event will be the Nombolo Mdhluli Conference Centre, Skukuza, located within the heart of African wildlife, the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Our intention is to make this a global conference with a distinctive African flavour, using the event to highlight, support and encourage African researchers across the continent and to link them up with the global barcoding network. The conference format will include plenary lectures, parallel sessions comprising invited and contributed/selected talks as well as poster presentations. The optional first day (20 November) will be devoted to training workshops. The major theme of the conference is exploring mega-diverse biotas with DNA barcodes. A series of presentations and workshops will focus on the use of DNA to understand diversity patterns and ecological processes in species-rich and complicated ecosystems. The conference also provides a general forum for presentations, posters and discussion on the wider field of DNA barcoding. ... [Information of the supplier]

GTI is the acronym for Global Taxonomic Initiative and part of the CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity); the GTI was created to diminish the taxonomic impediment. The GTI is a cross-cutting theme of the CBD and is a loose collection of National Focal Points (NFP). Each CBD member state is supposed to establish a GTI NFP ... [Information of the supplier]
The SSS is a scientific society open to both professionals and amateurs genuinely interested in Systematics, without restrictions about their groups of interest, favorite methodologies or field of work. The SSS basic objective is to make sure that expertise in systematics is guaranteed in the long term in Switzerland. More generally the Society wants to become a compelling party whenever systematics-related questions are discussed in this country. ... [Information of the supplier]
Diese Webseite ist für all diejenigen gedacht, die sich für die Biodiversität Schwedens und die Evolution interessieren. Zu unseren Mitgliedern zählen Universitäten, Herbarien, naturhistorische Museen und ähnliche Einrichtungen in Schweden wie auch aus den anderen skandinavischen Ländern.
