Botanists of the [http://www.botanischer-verein-brandenburg.de/ Botanischer Verein von Berlin und Brandenburg], the DNA Bank Network, and the [http://www.bgbm.org/ Botanic Garden and the Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem] will go on a field excursion around Kerkwitz (Niederlausitz) contributing to this years GEO Day of Biodiversity ([http://www.geo-artenvielfalt.de/aktionen/2010/Arteninventur_als_Zeitzeugnis_im_Tagebauerwartungsland go to site]). As a proposed open-pit brown coal mining region the lake-dotted landscape rich in woodland is severely endangered. Objective of the tour is the collection of witnessing voucher specimens and tissue samples for DNA extraction next to a species inventory.

Referencing a DNA sample to its specimen as well as to inferred DNA sequences and vice versa is one main focus of the DNA Bank Network. Publications related to DNA samples and their vouchers preserved by the partners of the DNA Bank Network are an additional valuable source. The DSMZ records each publication related to their strains centrally. This precious and very useful repository is now implemented into the Network's web portal, together with relevant publications of the other partners. Links to online versions of abstracts are included. Further publications will be added continuously. [http://www.dnabank-network.org/Citations.php Go to site]
