The New York Botanical Garden joins the DNA Bank Network



The DNA Bank Network welcomes its first international partner! The DNA bank of the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) has joined the DNA Bank Network on February 23th 2011. The NYBG uses KE EMu software to manage its specimen and DNA data. To share the data via the DNA Bank Network's webportal BioCASe has been set up and the DNA data have been mapped with ABCDDNA. For now a test set of 274 DNA samples and 761 tissue samples of the NYBG is available via our webportal.

Banking DNA for Biodiversity Genomics

The main focus of the DNA Bank Network is to enhance taxonomic, systematic, genetic, conservation and evolutionary studies by providing:

• at-cost availability of non-human DNA material,

• high quality, long-term storage of DNA material on which molecular studies have been performed, so that results can be verified, extended, and complemented,

• complete on-line documentation of each sample, including the provenance of the original material, the place of voucher deposit, information about DNA quality and extraction methodology, digital images of vouchers and links to published molecular data if available.
