The BOLD Student Data Portal (BOLD-SDP) is a classroom-focused interface to the BOLD database. This platform provides instructors and students the tools necessary to make contributions to DNA barcode library used for identifying species. It also gives students the opportunity to integrate and analyze specimen and sequence data while providing instructors with tools to monitor student progress and evaluate their work. Students can explore the large database of DNA barcode records submitted by scientists around the world, but they will also be able to add their own data to the ever-growing DNA barcoding library.
