It is a pleasure to be able to announce the new web pages for the Norwegian Barcode of Life Network (NorBOL). On these pages we present DNA barcoding and DNA barcode projects in Norway and will give regular progress updates on the barcode library of Norwegian species.

The use of DNA barcoding in biodiversity research has seen a marked increase over the last few years, also in Norway. Currently, nearly 100 different DNA barcode projects have been registered by NorBOL. Most of these deposit or have deposited sequence data and accompanying information in the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) and are included in the progress update presented on these pages.

Thanks for visiting our pages and please don’t hesitate to contact us in case you would like to contribute to NorBOL!
