Barcode of Life Data Systems

The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) provides DNA barcode data. BOLD's online workbench supports data validation, annotation, and publication for specimen, distributional, and molecular data. The platform consists of four main modules: a data portal, a database of barcode clusters, an educational portal, and a data collection workbench. BOLD is the go-to site for DNA-based identification. As the central informatics platform for DNA barcoding, BOLD plays a crucial role in assimilating and organizing data gathered by the international barcode research community. Two iBOL (International Barcode of Life) Working Groups are supporting the ongoing development of BOLD.

生命条码数据系统（Barcode of Life Data Systems，简称 BOLD）提供 DNA 条码数据。BOLD 的在线工作平台支持样本、分布和分子数据的验证、注释及发布。该平台由四个主要模块构成：数据门户、条码簇数据库、教育门户以及数据收集工作台。BOLD 是基于 DNA 的身份识别的首选网站。作为 DNA 条码的中心信息平台，BOLD 在整合和组织国际条码研究社区的收集数据方面发挥着至关重要的作用。两个国际生命条码组织（International Barcode of Life，简称 iBOL）工作组正支持 BOLD 的持续发展。
