Barcodes of Life, Biodiversity, Organism identification and classificationAbstract
Traditional identification, taxonomy, and classification of living organisms require extensive training and knowledge in taxonomic keys and face challenges such as the complexity of identifying organisms in immature stages, sexual dimorphism, and cryptic species, among others. The application of molecular analysis technologies presents a new era of possibilities for solving these problems; That is why in 2010 the International Barcode of Life Consortium (iBOL) established a global initiative to build a reference library of freely accessible DNA barcodes for the identification of living organisms. To date, this initiative has permitted to establishment of collaboration networks that have led to the resolution of problems in traditional taxonomy, as well as the scope of new challenges focused on the preservation of endangered species.
