Abstract
The Canada-led International Barcode of Life (iBOL) project has received new pledges from its major supporters, raising totals from these funders to $80 million. The Natural Sciences Engineering Research Council of Canada has awarded C$1.2 million for new DNA barcoding research programs, and Canada's International Development Research Centre has provided C$2.2 million to enable researchers in Argentina, Costa Rica, Kenya, Peru, and South Africa to collaborate with the barcoding project. Genome Canada has set aside C$4.6 million for iBOL. This GenomeWeb article outlines further funding for the iBOL project.
