We are pleased to announce an update to the BOLD platform, version 3.6. This version addresses a lot of usability gaps and introduces new functionality to further enable investigation and retrieval of barcode data. New features include a unified search panel in the Workbench, embedded sequence editor, an education portal, and many more.

Public Data Portal:A data retrieval interface that allows for searching over 1.7M public records in BOLD using multiple search criteria including, but not limited to, geography, taxonomy, and depository. |
 |
Barcode Index Numbers:A searchable database of Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), sequence clusters that closely approximate species. |

Workbench:An integrated data collection and analysis environment that securely supports the assembly and validation of DNA barcodes and ancillary sequences. |
The Barcode of Life Data Systems is designed to support the generation and application of DNA barcode data. The platform consists of four main modules: a data portal, a database of barcode clusters, an educational portal, and a data collection workbench.
