Abstract
The Division of Birds, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, has obtained and released DNA barcodes for 2808 frozen tissue samples. Of the 1,403 species represented by these samples, 1,147 species have not been barcoded previously. This data release increases the number of bird species with standard barcodes by 91%. These records meet the data standard of the Consortium for the Barcode of Life and they have the reserved keyword BARCODE in GenBank. The data are now available on GenBank and the Barcode of Life Data Systems.

The Division of Birds, National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution (USNM), has released approximately 2800 DNA barcode data records into the public domain through GenBank and the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD).Copyright David E
Schindel et al / ZooKeys 152: 87–92 (2011). These records were derived from the Division’s extensive collection of frozen tissues that are linked to voucher specimens in the Museum
The data adhere to the DNA barcode data standard (Consortium for the Barcode of Life 2005) and they have been labeled by GenBank with the reserved keyword ‘BARCODE’
