The Collections Associate will support the scientific, communications, and organizational functions of the Ocean Genome Legacy non-profit biorepository of marine DNA and tissue samples. The responsibilities will entail approximately 50% sample processing and laboratory procedures / 50% collections-related communications and collaborator outreach. We anticipate that this position will provide a range of experiences in the research and communication of science to advance the career of a recent science graduate with an interest in marine biology and/or genomics.

We are happy to announce that the new GGBN Platform and Data Portal, including new requirements, features, and corporate design, has been launched today at http://www.ggbn.org.  The portal allows GGBN member institutions to publish information on their tissue and DNA holdings through a shared data portal.  Based on the DNA Bank Network’s data portal, the new GGBN infrastructure has been extended to support DarwinCore-Archive in addition to ABCD. To do so GGBN has created the [http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/GGBN_Data_Standard GGBN Data Standard] that can now be used as extensions with DarwinCore-Archive and ABCD).  This new infrastructure, and its associated testing over the past year, has resulted in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History to increase its GGBN online collections from 8K samples in February 2015 to more than 27K samples. As a result of this and other tests of the DarwinCore-Archive, ABCD and GGBN Data Standard, the DNA Bank Network is now fully merged with GGBN. The virtual platform of GGBN is hosted and maintained by the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, Freie Universität Berlin. This work was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as well as SYNTHESYS. Further information about the GGBN infrastructure can be found [[Data_Portal_Architecture | here]].

This work is part of a running DFG project at BGBM on expanding the existing DNA Bank Network infrastructure into GGBN. We have implemented the new GGBN Data Standard within Darwin Core and ABCD and use a new harvester tool. This harvester (HIT) was developed by GBIF and has been extended by several features within another project at BGBM and can now also be used for GGBN purposes. Therefore we now can handle DarwinCore-Archives in addition to ABCD. Smithsonian and BGBM did the test mappings with DwC-A .
