As BGE activities are completed we are disseminating the knowledge gained through scientific publications and presentations. Many of the publications produced through BGE cover the release of authoritative DNA-barcode and genome sequence references, with case studies to follow on the application of these resources. BGE also publishes on methodological and software development, citizen science, scientific networks and capacity building. In addition, we include here presentations from international conferences organised by BGE and in which BGE progress has been covered.
