Date:

Location: 

CSIC, Madrid (Spain)

Event Description and Information: 

Full Title: Molecular collections management and linkage between biological specimen repositories and molecular sequence databases

The correct preservation of material derived from biological specimens and their associated data are essential to ensure compatibility, reproducibility, and knowledge extension in all areas of biological research. This way, molecular collections can provide long-term storage and access of well documented DNA samples and voucher specimens. They also link DNA samples to their vouchers (specimen and information) and to inferred molecular data stored in public sequence databases facilitating taxonomic verification of molecular analysed organisms. This training course is aimed at any person who wants to begin organizing a collection of tissues and DNA to curate the products of molecular research preserved at national history institutions, as well as for persons who already have began a collection but would like to obtain additional information on management standards and protocols.
