Consortium for the Barcode of Life
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Consortium for the Barcode of Life is an international collaborative effort which aims to develop a mechanism capable of generating a unique genetic barcode for every species of life on earth.
The science behind the Consortium's initiative has met with considerable controversy, with responses ranging from enthusiastic endorsement to strident rejection. More work needs to be done to determine to what extent barcoding can complement existing taxonomic methods in cataloguing the planet's biodiversity.
