The AllGenetics student award for industrial applications using DNA barcoding and DNA metabarcoding will be given to the best student work on this topic.

We are very happy to announce that we will be sponsoring the 8th International Barcode of Life Conference 2019, which will be held in Trondheim (Norway) June 17-20 2019. The conference is being organised by Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet and Artsdatabanken in collaboration with NorBOL, the Norwegian Barcode of Life project.
