dc.description.abstractThe International Barcode of Life (iBOL) project, received a funding boost of $35 million from Canadian agencies for a 26-nation effort to collect specimens, sequence their DNA, and build an informatics platform using digital bar codes to store and share information for species identification and discovery. The new funds bring Canadian commitments to the world's largest biodiversity genomics project to $80 million. This will secure "an initiative that will transform humanity's relationship with other living organisms," says iBOL's director, Paul Hebert. The ScienceInsider article reviews funding and plans for the new Centre for Biodiversity Genomics at the University of Guelph.en
