The Global Mirror System of DNA Barcode Data (GMS-DBD) is designed as a web-based system to distribute DNA barcode data generated by the International Barcode of Life (iBOL) project. iBOL is the largest biodiversity genomics initiative ever undertaken, and aiming to produce DNA barcode records from 5 million specimen of 500K species in 5 years. More than 25 countries are involved and major commitments have been made toward the Phase 1 operating budget of $150 million. To help distributing those DNA barcode data to the public, mirror sites are necessary. The Global Mirror System of DNA Barcode Data is developed by the Network Information Center, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This project was started from April, 2010. It is a software package that can be easily installed and distributed. GMS-DBD includes synchronization module, representation module and statistic module, etc. To date, the DNA barcode records are daily-updated to BOLD.
