abstract: 'Facilitates retrieval, transformation and analysis of the data from the
  Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) database <https://boldsystems.org/>. This package
  allows both public and private user data to be easily downloaded into the R environment
  using a variety of inputs such as: IDs (processid, sampleid), BINs, dataset codes,
  project codes, taxonomy, geography etc. It provides frictionless data conversion
  into formats compatible with other R-packages and third-party tools, as well as
  functions for sequence alignment & clustering, biodiversity analysis and spatial
  mapping.'
