− | [[File:Image.jpg|800px]]
| + | These wiki sites lead you through information on how to search for samples, how to provide data, and how to join GGBN. |
| | | |
− | These wiki sites should help you installing and using our open source software "DNA Module" and will guide you to joining the DNA Bank Network's webportal.
| + | =Finding Samples= |
| + | * Search and order genomic samples(tissues, DNA, environmental samples) |
| + | * Search by member biodiversity repository |
| + | * Find global statistics on samples, vouchers and taxonomy |
| | | |
− | =What is the DNA Module?=
| |
− | The DNA Module is an open source software for DNA data input and management. It was developed within the framework of the DNA Bank Network.
| |
− | <div id="wikinote">The main idea of the DNA Module is to connect DNA data to a specimen database via wrappers following the idea and data architecture of GBIF. Thereby specimen data will always be up-to-date because you get the data from the original database.</div>
| |
− | To guarantee both the safeguarding and long-term availability of referenced DNA samples these should be deposited in research collections. Corresponding data including voucher/specimen information have to be stored in suitable collections databases.
| |
| | | |
− | =What is GBIF?= | + | =The Network= |
− | The Global Biodiversity Information Facility enables free and open access to biodiversity data online. It is an international government-initiated and funded initiative focused on making biodiversity data available to all and anyone, for scientific research, conservation and sustainable development. GBIF provides an information infrastructure – an Internet-based index of a globally distributed network of interoperable databases that contain primary biodiversity data – information on museum specimens, field observations of plants and animals in nature, and results from experiments – so that data holders across the world can access and share them. [© GBIF]
| + | * Administer your data locally |
− | In October 2010 more than 213.000.000 specimens and observations are available via the GBIF portal.
| + | * Share your data with the world |
| + | * Join GGBN with your biodiversity repository |
| + | * Join GBIF with your specimen and observation records |
| + | * Let other scientists find and order your tissue and DNA samples via a central platform |
| + | * Help us to bridge the gap between natural history collections and sequence portals |
| + | * Find out more about how to [[Join the Network]] |
| | | |
− | =Why should I use the DNA Module?=
| |
− | The Module is suitable for institutions that have or are planning to have a DNA bank.<br>
| |
− | '''It is the only existing open source software for DNA relevant data so far!'''<br>
| |
− | If your institution doesn't have a specimen database yet the Specimen Tool which is part of the DNA Module might be suitable for you as well.
| |
| | | |
− | ==Features== | + | =GGBN Data Standard and BioCASe= |
− | The Module offers several tools for data administration.
| + | * Coming soon |
− | * Input DNA data
| |
− | * Any GBIF compliant specimen database worldwide can be accessed by the DNA Module
| |
− | * Search/Edit DNA data
| |
− | * Links to GenBank and BOLD entries | |
− | * Administrate Customer Requests
| |
− | * Add (Molecular) Publications to DNA data
| |
− | * Specimen Tool for DNA voucher data that are not available via GBIF
| |
− | * Configuration Tool
| |
− | * Data Cleaning
| |
| | | |
− | Please find out more about features [[Features|here]].
| + | =GGBN Data Standard and DwC-A= |
− | | + | * Coming soon |
− | ==What are the legal aspects?==
| |
− | The software ist free and open source. By installing and using it you don't enter into a commitment.
| |
− | <div id="wikinote">Please note that it is possible but no obligation to share your DNA data with other people by joining the DNA Bank Network's web portal.</div>
| |
− | | |
− | ==What technical requirements are required?==
| |
− | The Module is optimised for PHP5 and MySQL5 (both free software). The database and the scripts has to be installed on a webserver so that more than one people can work with the Module. If only one person will be authorised to work with the Module a local installation is also possible.<br>
| |
− | Please contact your local administrator to check these requirements.
| |
− | <div id="wikinote">Please note that it is obligate to install the Module on a webserver if you want to provide your DNA data via the DNA Bank Network's web portal.</div>
| |
− | | |
− | ==How can I get it?==
| |
− | The sourcecode of DNA Module 1.0 is available at http://ww2.biocase.org/svn/dnabank/DNA_Module/Version1.0. A second version will be available soon.
| |
− | | |
− | =Who I may contact for further questions?=
| |
− | Please don't hesitate to contact the DNA Bank Network if you have any further questions: mail[at]dnabank-network.org
