DNA barcoding is an exciting new approach to taxonomy that will have profound value for studies of environment and
evolution. PHE Guest Investigator Mark Stoeckle took the lead in preparing the Census of Marine Life (CoML) DNA Barcoding Protocol: http://phe.rockefeller.edu/PDF_FILES/DNAbarcode.pdf.

CoML is the first organization to officially promote this new approach, highlighted in Nature magazine 15 May 2003 http://www.nature.com/nsu/030512/030512-7.html.

The Census of Marine Life website is at http://www.coml.org
