Program of Work

  • Development of a data standard for sharing DNA and tissue information
  • Development and subsequent expansion of a global data platform for aggregating relevant data sources of genomic samples, vouchers, molecular analysis, publications, and images

Current Activities

  • Developing tutorials for publishing genetic sample data on GGBN
  • Reducing bottlenecks for updating genetic sample data from providers
  • Implementation of GGBN data standard in Symbiota, Plutof and ZIMS.
  • Migration of GGBN institutional registry to GBIF
  • Modifications of the GGBN data standard for environmental DNA and environmental samples, along with HTS library samples.
  • Performing a user review of the GGBN website to inform improvements to its data architecture.
  • Performing a review of GGBN’s permit fields, including any impediments to implementation by users.
  • Collaboration with sequencing portals to provide best practices for documentation and citation of samples and make the GGBN data standard the global standard for implementation of the Nagoya Protocol.
  • As part of SYNTHESYS+ Work Package 3, developing a best practices for usage of molecular collections handbook.
