If name-bearing types, such as ZSM 442/2016, the holotype of Gephyromantis tohatra and CEDiT 2017E68, the epitype of Palatinus apiculatus, were better flagged by NCBI Taxonomy and GenBank, this would benefit all of biology. In this issue, Renner et al. summarize where we are with efforts to flag sequences from name-bearing type material and set out how the representation of this critical reference material in the World’s DNA databases might be improved and sped up.
