As an observer of GGBN, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has learned that Museum of Southwestern Biology makes genetic collections discoverable.
The first Arctos partner, the Museum of Southwestern Biology, University of New Mexico/US has made a subset of its genetic collections discoverable through GGBN as part of the 2017-2018 GGBN-GGI awards program. The online collection includes more than 580,000 vertebrate tissues representing mostly mammals and more than 200,000 associated specimen data. The collection adds 100 new families, 400 new genera and 1,000 species to the GGBN Data Portal.
More Arctos partners will be making their genetic collections discoverable in the upcoming weeks.
