Museums that encourage DNA barcoding to compete for funding with taxonomy are misguided, as the practice is counterproductive to furthering our understanding of life.

But now, with the rise of a technique known as “DNA barcoding”, it’s easier than ever to determine the identity of and relationships between species.
