The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) was an international initiative dedicated to supporting the development of DNA barcoding as a global standard for species identification. CBOL's Secretariat Office is hosted by the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC. Barcoding was proposed in 2003 by Prof. Paul Hebert of the University of Guelph in Ontario as a way of distinguishing and identifying species with a short standardized gene sequence. Hebert proposed the 658 bases of the Folmer region of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome-C oxidase-1 as the standard barcode region. Hebert is the Director of the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, and the International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL), all headquartered at the University of Guelph. The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) is also located at the University of Guelph.

Sponsored by Sen. John W. Kern (D) of Indiana, the Kern Amendment amended the Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914 by forbidding a Director, officer, or employee of any Reserve Bank having resources in excess of $5,000,000 acting in any similar capacity in another bank; however, it allowed an officer of a FED member bank, with the consent of the Federal Reserve Board, to hold a similar post in two other banks provided they were not in substantial competition with the member bank. In essence, the amendment lessened the prohibition against interlocking directorates dictated by the Clayton Act originally scheduled to go into effect on Oct. 15th, 1916.
