Latest revision as of 14:17, 16 December 2015

The DNA Bank Network was established in spring 2007 and was funded until 2011 by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The network was initiated by GBIF Germany (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). It offers a worldwide unique concept. DNA bank databases of all partners are linked and are accessible via a central web portal, providing DNA samples of complementary collections (microorganisms, protists, plants, algae, fungi and animals).

The Network is one of the founders of the Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN) and is fully merged with GGBN today. GGBN agreed on using the data model proposed by the DNA Bank Network. The Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem (BGBM) hosts the technical secretariat of GGBN and its virtual infrastructure.

Partners of the former DNA Bank Network:

Bavarian State Collection of Zoology (ZSM)	Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ)
Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem (BGBM)	Zoological Research Institute and Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK)
Freie Universität Berlin	The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG)
Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT)	Senckenberg Gesellschaft fuer Naturforschung
Ruder Boskovic Institute (RBI)	Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Museum für Naturkunde (MfN)

-The DNA Bank Network aims to establish a technically optimized DNA collection service facility for all biological research. DNA samples of on-site research and of selected natural history collections of the institutes will be incorporated. Also, the network promotes deposition of well documented DNA samples after project completion or data publication from scientists of other universities and institutions. In addition to DNA storage, scientists will be given the opportunity to store tissue material. In this way, material remaining from previous studies can be made available to other researchers.
