CBOL Working Groups

Get Involved in Barcoding!
 

Based on input from Member Organizations and other sources, the Executive Committee directed the Secretariat Office to form self-organizing Working Groups to help develop the intellectual scope and rigor of DNA barcoding. The CBOL Secretariat supports the Working Groups by promoting international participation and by providing logistical and financial support. In partnership with the Chairs of the Working Groups, the CBOL Secretariat helps in developing, submitting, and managing those applications for funding that are necessary to support ambitious. The initial Working Groups are devoted to DNA, Database, Plants, Data Analysis and Technology Development. The Executive Committee has sole authority to convene new Working Groups and to disestablish existing ones.

CBOL has the following five working groups
