Mark the DNA bar code on the organism

The International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL), is the world's first DNA barcode library and the world's largest complete genetic engineering project.

Here, scientists will use a piece of DNA to create a database for all living organisms to be identified.

To get the bar code, scientists use a short piece of DNA taken from the standard tissue. Once the bar code is generated, it is stored in the iBOL library.

Within one week, anyone can refer to the online bar code by signing up for a free account at www.boldsystems.org.

Currently, the library has bar codes of more than 87,000 officially identified species and more than 1 million bar codes, of which 1.9 million have their names.

In addition to attempting to save polar bears and tigers from extinction risk, the library will contribute more economically, such as ensuring that salmon at markets and restaurants will be identified as true, or identified. Identify the identity of foods when exporting or importing between countries.

And so this bar code system will dramatically reduce the time it takes to transport food if it is equipped with bar code reading technology to determine if any animal transport is harmful. In addition, the project will help prevent illegal wildlife trade, such as cross-border trade in rare and endangered species. However, participants in the project also said that the time to put these applications into practice depends largely on the support of the public sector.
