=What is the DNA Module?=
=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.
* Manage your DNA collection and customer requests with an open source software
<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 [http://www.gbif.org GBIF]. Thereby specimen data will always be up-to-date because you get the data from the original database.</div>
* Set references to voucher specimens by using GBIF infrastructure
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 should to be stored in suitable collections databases.
* Get original specimen data from GBIF providers instead of copies
* Set links to NCBI, EMBL, DDBJ, or BOLD
* Set references to publications
* Use the Specimen Tool for specimen data that are not available via GBIF
* Share you DNA data with others
* Find out more about the [[DNA Module]]
[[File:Start1.jpg|thumb|650px|The DNA Module can interact with every GBIF compliant database]]
In September 2011 more than 302.000.000 specimen and observation data are available via the GBIF portal.
* Share your data with the world
* Join the DNA Bank Network with your DNA Bank
* Join GBIF with your specimen and observation records
* Let other scientists find and order your 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?=
=ABCDDNA and BioCASE=
The Module is suitable for institutions that have or are planning to have a DNA bank.<br>
* Use this powerful team for exchange and transfer of DNA data
'''It is the only existing open source software for DNA relevant data so far!'''<br>
* More than 30 Mio. records are provided to GBIF with BioCASE
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.
* Find out more about the pros of [[ABCDDNA]] and [http://wiki.bgbm.org/bps/index.php/Main_Page BioCASE]
==Features==
The Module offers several tools for data administration.
* 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]].
==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 class="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 [[Special:Contact | contact the DNA Bank Network]] if you have any further questions!

Welcome to the DNA Bank Network Wiki!
These wiki sites leads you trough installing and use of the open source software "DNA Module" and will guide you to join the DNA Bank Network.
The DNA Module
Manage your DNA collection and customer requests with an open source software
Set references to voucher specimens by using GBIF infrastructure
Get original specimen data from GBIF providers instead of copies
Set links to NCBI, EMBL, DDBJ, or BOLD
Set references to publications
Use the Specimen Tool for specimen data that are not available via GBIF
The data architecture of the DNA Bank Network holds the potential to become an international platform of biological DNA banks to bridge the gap between natural history collections and molecular sequence databases.
ABCDDNA and BioCASE
Use this powerful team for exchange and transfer of DNA data
More than 30 Mio. records are provided to GBIF with BioCASE
