Consortium for the Bar Code of Life Nu ska alla växter och djur "streckkodas". I maj 2004 ingick mer än 45 organisationer i detta gigantiska projekt där utvecklandet av "DNA barcoding" syftar till:
"An accurate and reliable tool for scientific research on the taxonomy of plant and animal species;
A practical, cost-effective tool for assigning unidentified specimens to their correct species; and
A system for expanding interest and activity in taxonomy."
