  2. Common Challenges • Funding • Committed partners • Access to specimens • New collections • International transfers • Preparing quality BARCODE records • Releasing data • Publishable results TreeBOL - 30 April 08

  3. Common Solutions • Proposal writing workshops • Coordination  Working Groups  Campaigns  GenBank, BOLD  Related Initiatives • Outreach  Regional meetings  Representation • “Leading Labs” Network 15 facilities in 9 countries • Strong partnerships with GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ, GBIF, EOL TreeBOL - 30 April 08

  4. Building Collaborations Beyond Taxonomy • Workshops with  Assembling the Tree of Life projects  Population biologists (“Banbury 3”) • EMBO Conference on Molecular Biodiversity • Co-sponsor of e-Biosphere 09 Conference on Biodiversity Informatics, June 2009, London TreeBOL - 30 April 08

  5. Links to Taxonomic Literature • London meeting on electronic access to taxonomic literature, 2005 • Catalyzed Biodiversity Heritage Library www.biodiversitylibrary.org • Proactive steps with PubMed to add taxonomic journals to online abstracts • Aggressive negotiation with publishers of barcoding papers • Involvement in Encyclopedia of Life TreeBOL - 30 April 08

  6. CBOL’s Mission:Promoting DNA Barcoding as a Global Standard • Developing/raising community standards • Barcode projects to populate database • Global participation and coordination • Adoption by regulatory agencies • Acceptance by taxonomic community • Excitement in other fields of science • Product development by private companies TreeBOL - 30 April 08
