The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) is an online workbench that aids collection, management, analysis, and use of DNA barcodes. It consists of 3 components (MAS, IDS, and ECS) that each address the needs of various groups in the barcoding community.

BOLD-IDS provides a species identification tool that accepts DNA sequences from the barcode region and returns a taxonomic assignment to the species level when possible. s

BOLD-ECS provides web developers and bioinformaticians the ability to build tools and workflows that can be integrated with the BOLD framework. BOLD-ECS supplies REST services that allows access to public sequence and specimen data. We welcome the addition of new analytical modules. d

Notice: BOLD version 3 (currently at www.boldsystems.org) has replaced this version of BOLD (2.5)
This version, will be maintained and will continue to function as it has. However, support for it's use will not be available beyond December 2012. Please contact our support staff if you have any questions (info@boldsystems.org).

The next iteration of the BOLD platform, V3.0, is available in beta form at v3.boldsystems.org. Significant revisions have been made to support an increasing diversity of workflows and an increasing volume of data. A major advance is the activation of Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), an interim taxonomic system for animals, and an annotation framework that supports rapid community based validation of barcode data. As of November 2011, this version is currently in BETA, and the older version of BOLD (2.5) will still be available in parallel. A subset of the many new features:
Batch Identification Up to 100 sequences can be identified at a time for registered users.
Alignment Support Access to Muscle and Kalign algorithms simplify and enhance workflows for plant barcoders.
Bibliography Database A searchable, community maintained database of barcode papers linked to published datasets.
Performance Optimization Expedited access to and analysis of very large datasets using a new high performance cluster.
