Chironomid DNA Barcode Database

The Chironomid DNA Barcode Database provides information on chironomid species, including DNA sequences, habitats, and taxonomic classifications. DNA barcoding has been used to identify species, along with morphological and ecological observations. We hope the database is widely used for scientific research, education and aquatic conservation.
