This session addresses the importance of strategic sampling for long-term preservation, conservation and current and future research. Topics include how we  intelligently sample the Earth’s biodiversity both for use and safekeeping, local verses global responsibilities in sampling, and caveats and advantages of different methods for collecting. This session is open to all participants.

This session covers the utility of historical collections for genomic research and addresses methodologies and roadblocks for optimal use of  these resources. Topics include technical and preservation issues with historical collections, the agony of choice = prioritization of the use of historical collections, and methods for developing a knowledge base for species preservation.

The Global Genome Initiative (GGI) was founded with the goal of collecting and preserving genome-quality tissue samples from at least one species belonging to each family and 50% of the genera of species on Earth. GGI Gardens was founded in January 2015 by five gardens within the US to collect and preserve specimens from arboreta, botanic gardens, and greenhouses (gardens). Since then, GGI–Gardens has grown considerably through partnership with gardens from around the world greatly expanding the possible number of taxa preserved and continues to expand globally to target, sample, and preserve vouchered plant genomes around the world. The workshop will include a presentation on the progress and future prospects of GGI–Gardens, a training program that will include best practices for GGI–Gardens Member Organizations, a synthesis of what is available globally in gardens, and a question and answer session. We welcome representatives from any arboretum, garden, or greenhouse, as well as herbarium curators interested in how this can impact their efforts. Location: BGBM

Workshop - GGI Gardens

The Global Genome Initiative (GGI) was founded with the goal of collecting and preserving genome-quality tissue samples from at least one species belonging to each family and 50% of the genera of species on Earth. GGI Gardens was founded in January 2015 by five gardens within the US to collect and preserve specimens from arboreta, botanic gardens, and greenhouses (gardens). Since then, GGI–Gardens has grown considerably through partnership with gardens from around the world greatly expanding the possible number of taxa preserved and continues to expand globally to target, sample, and preserve vouchered plant genomes around the world. The workshop will include a presentation on the progress and future prospects of GGI–Gardens, a training program that will include best practices for GGI–Gardens Member Organizations, a synthesis of what is available globally in gardens, and a question and answer session. We welcome representatives from any arboretum, garden, or greenhouse, as well as herbarium curators interested in how this can impact their efforts. Location: BGBM
