BOLD-Local-DB
BOLD-Local-DB converts the public TSV/tar.gz data package downloaded from BOLD Systems into a local, indexed SQLite database that can be searched entirely offline. It has two components: a Creator (desktop GUI) that filters, imports, indexes, and optionally adds full-text search to the downloaded data; and a local web viewer for advanced field search, full-text search, batch search by term list, and CSV/FASTA export. Intended for researchers who need to query large BOLD exports (DNA barcode records, taxonomy, collection metadata) repeatedly without depending on an internet connection or BOLD's rate limits.
