DNA Barcoding Databases

European researchers are contributing to or maintaining the following DNA barcoding databases/sequence databases for the identification of organisms:

Algaterra www.algaterra.org Algae
BOLD www.boldsystems.org All organisms
ISTH www.isth.info Trichoderma (Fungi)
Mycobank www.mycobank.org Fungi
Nematol http://nematol.unh.edu/ Nematodes
Silva www.arb-silva.de Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
Sponge Barcoding Project www.spongebarcoding.org Sponges
MOTU http://nemhelix.cap.ed.ac.uk:880 Nematodes
Unite http://unite.ut.ee Ectomycorrhizal Fungi

Databases that will contain DNA barcoding data in future:

AMF-phylogeny.com www.amf-phylogeny.com Glomeromycota
CeDaMar www.cedamar.org Abyssal Marine Life
DNA Barcoding www.kew.org/barcoding Plants
PERG.db www.pleurocarps.eu Pleurocarps (publicly available in 2010)
TRACEAM www.traceam.de Arbusc. Mycorrhizal fungi

We are quite convinced that more databases exist and therefore invite you to email us the names of other DNA barcoding databases.
