Moorea Biocode Project

The Moorea Biocode project has the ambitious goal of DNA barcoding an entire ecosystem: the island of Moorea, located in French Polynesia. This ecosystem has over 5,000 identified species and the project itself has collected and sequenced over 30,000 specimens. As part of the collecting effort in the Moorea Biocode project, we have developed informatics tools to track data from the collecting event, specimen identification, photograph, laboratory, and ultimately to host institution and sequence repositories.

莫雷阿生物编码项目（Moorea Biocode Project）的宏伟目标是对整个生态系统——法属波利尼西亚的莫雷阿岛——开展DNA条形码（DNA barcoding）研究。该生态系统拥有超过5000个已鉴定物种，本项目迄今已收集并测序逾30000份标本。作为莫雷阿生物编码项目采集工作的组成部分，我们开发了信息学工具，用于追踪从采集事件、标本鉴定、照片记录、实验室流程，最终到托管机构与序列存储库的全流程数据。
