Congratulations to NorBOL for reaching 10 000 barcoded species! We are now halfway to our target of DNA barcoding 20 000 species from Norway. The benchmark was celebrated at the NorBOL steering group meeting in March and covered by the journal Gemini and forskning.no. Congratulations to everyone involved!
