The BOLD system is a global, open, and collaborative platform and community to help people improve their understanding of biodiversity. supports the acquisition, storage, validation, analysis, and publication of DNA barcodes: activities that require the integration of molecular, morphological, and distributional data. Its pivotal role in curating the reference library of DNA barcodes, coupled with its data management and analysis capabilities, makes it a central resource for biodiversity science. It enables rapid, accurate identification of specimens and also reveals patterns of genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among taxa.
